Anyone know where I can find either Steve Wiebe's full run of 1,049,100 or Billy's run of 1,047,whatever comes after that? Any help is appreciated.

Mitchell 1,047,200: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYtJzRcvOzk (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYtJzRcvOzk)
Wiebe's 1,049,100 tape is still in the possession of former TG refs and insiders.

Case in point. If someone leaked those onto YouTube they'd be doing Steve's legacy a favor. I at least hope he's making a cut from Mark's profits, though I'm sure the ad revenue from YouTube if Steve uploaded them there himself would be significantly larger.

Steve Wiebe 1.049m score: The video is mis-labeled, this is actually the 1.049 and not the 1.047.
This one is a good watch if you are interested in some of the records.'
The playlist that one is in contains the other donkey kong tapes I have re-uploaded aswell.

Thanks! this is probably a really dumb question, but is there a chance that there's a recording somewhere out there of Billy's 874,000 from the 80s?

Very few games were recorded in the 80s, and that one certainly was not. Much harder thing to set up back then, and few gamers in 1982 had the equipment or the inclination to record gameplay in full (personal video recorders would not be popular on the consumer market for another few years). As far as I know no footage exists of any record set during the "golden age."
