Here are a few pics of most of my goodies from Blackpool....So far everything looks quite nice.

Hope the films are nice when you finally get to project them Greg, Mark

A nice haul Greg, i know you wanted beauty and the beast so really pleased that you got it.

Let's hope it is a Beauty and not a Beast, Mark

Im sure it will be. Funnily enough the Disney features are usually pretty good.ive yet to see reports of any bad one. I think they all came out at a price that hopefully got those collectors who bought to look after them.

I am hopeful it will look as good on the screen as the very brief spot-check seemed to indicate. As the years roll by, the number of pristine copies of any title certainly continues to decrease due to wear and tear, films changing hands, equipment miscues etc. I can tolerate one or two thin, intermittent black lines if not dead center. Emulsion lines, not so much.

Ido agree, i have accepted some crap in the past but with 8mm in particular, i no longer want any more scratched and faded films, i am happy with what we have and will continue to sell off to half the collection. Hopefully, we will end up with all the best condition movies in our collection. In order for the currunt decent prints in circulation to survive is for everyone to keep their projectors in good clean order.

Yes I'm over cautious with my machines, nothing worse than scratches on film, Mark
