This is a longshot, but I thought I'd put the feelers out just in case.
I don't even know how many episodes of Concentration from the early 70s exist in people's collections. My friend and coworker's father, who has since passed, was a contestant on Concentration some time in the early 70s. She and her family are fuzzy on the details such as the exact date, but we do know he won a minimum of five games. I don't know how common five-time champs were on the show, so I don't know how much that helps. His name was John Krauss.
Hoping to strike lightning in a bottle. Anybody with early 70s episodes of Concentration in their collection wanna check for a John Krauss? I'd appreciate it.

Sorry, there's virtually nothing from that period. The only 70s Clayton episode I'm even aware of is the final broadcast.
There have been rumors that NBC gave the Library of Congress a huge collection of Concentration episodes, but I don't know how reliable they are. Whatever the LoC has is probably disintegrating in a warehouse somewhere, however.

And the only two in a viewable format I've heard of otherwise are at the Paley Center, and aren't likely to be circulating anytime soon.

Just because the LoC had it doesn't mean it's still there. I may have mentioned this before, but there was an ebay auction for some TV Guides of the 80's. Each one had a LoC address label.
