I've been in touch with them Tom some months ago about a
couple of films I am after(the ad should have been in the new mag) and it is run by a chap by the name of Rik Greening who
was very nice and helpful.

I've ordered from Rik a couple of times.
Both times films were great and so was his service.
Cheers

It seems that some of the prices are kind of high. "Hoppity Goes to Town" is listed as "C" grade, but 49 pounds is the price, and it's certianly not worth that at that price, (granted, that's my personal opinion) ...

However, if he has a completely unfaded print of "Ben Hur" the 3X400ft cineavsion version, it could well get that 99 pound price, as all copies of that 3X400ft version I have seen have had varying degrees of fade!

(gee, it makews me that much prouder of that fact that I bought Ben Hur, the full scope feature, for 200.00 a few years back!)
