Even further bad news...Hactac Films have now closed down. Based in Chicago, their 3 monthly lists were a must. They specialised in 17.5 mm stuff, but never did find me a print on 17.5 of Ghostbusters. They got me many a bargain, including Ben Hurr (1 x 400) was only £49.99...I'll never forget that bargain. I hear Serann films in UK have bought up their remaining stocks, including Polex cameras and spares.

Tony, I think there are a few US collectors due for a visit to the funny farm [Big Grin]

My brother Merl worked for them in their hay day. He started out cleaning the rest rooms and eventually worked his way up to perf inspector. We're both gonna' miss that grand old warehouse full of the stuff that dreams are made of. I too received many a deal from their list of fine film fare. One in particular was the Shirley Temple classic "Dance Little Feet Dance".

Glad to hear someone bought the remaining stock. Polex's are getting very hard to find.
