Yeah, Scopitones.  The NCO clubs in the Air Force had 'em.  The main thing I
remember about them in the late 60s/early 70s was that the machines always
seemed to be broken.  Oddly enough, I saw one in the basement of a music
store on Michigan Avenue in Chicago in 1979 or 1980 that still worked!  One
of the videos featured a harem-girl with a charming smile--or two.
