Went to Classic open day this morning and had the Pleasure of meeting Lee and his wife there as well as my first time meeting Phil from Classic. Would first like to thanks Lee for hunting me out some must have's to a collection and for the short bit of education you were able to give me on titles and companies. I was able to pick up the following titles : Star wars on 800ft, Empire strikes back on 800ft, King Kong on 2 x 600ft, Laurel and Hardy's the music box on 400ft, Scope trailer of The Spy who Shagged me and Mask of Zorro (sadly sound didnt work), 3 x Tom and Jerry's ( Designs on Jerry,Purr Chance to dream and Skaters),200 ft jason and the Argonauts, 400 ft mix Optical with Power boat racing,Shark fishing,Popye cartoon andBallet of the Dolphins and a 200ft of Spoilers. Also managed to pick up a scope bracket for my lense and some spare reels.So very happy with my first trip to Classic and will definatley be returning again for more [Smile]

Excellent finds William. If I was on that side of the pond I would have gone. That's what makes this hobby so interesting and enjoyable. [Wink]

Can I ask how much you had to pay for the Star Wars and Empires? And if you've seen them, how was the quality? I assume they are the 2 400' spliced together.

I want a trip there soon too, but it do cost a bit with hotels and plane

Hi yes just finished watching them both 2 x 400 spliced together i paid £15 for Star Wars as was slightly faded but not as bad as i thought it would be. Paid £30 for Empire strikes Back much much better quality and had full trailer for Return of the Jedi at the end as well which was a bonus i didnt even know it was on it [Smile]

Which Jason one did you get? Having all 200' spliced onto a 600' reel is a must have. [Smile]

Hi Winbert i would imagine it will have a different name i am only going on what it says on reel case.It is an episode where Jerry and his little Nephew use the freezer to freeze water they have spilled the kitchen to do some ice skating which annoys Tom so he gets some skates on and gives chase.Nice scene when they use the different colour jellies to make various spot light colours to dance to [Smile]

[Smile]

Austin the 200ft is The golden fleece and a very very pink copy has a commentary of what is happening in various parts And finishes with jason killing the multi headed serpent hope this helps [Smile]

Hi Will and really nice to be of help in ‘the hunt’ for you. You picked up some great films there and the Jedi trailer was a real plus well done. Phil does like to encourage new collectors and has also supported me over the years with some very nice finds plus his very good lady wife is a wonderful person so you will gather both my wife and I love our visits to Classic and do our best to support his endeavours.

It was nice to see a healthy stock of brand new prints as well and as you know Will we had the privilege of sifting through boxes of yet unlisted lucky dip films which I am guessing you are wondering what I found? After a unfruitful Christmas hunt for ‘Big Business’ Phil had a brand new print, I also got a number of other rarities but perhaps best of all was a brand new Disney 16mm colour print which bowled me over. It’s one of those things film hunting in that you never know what you will find and a joy when you truly find something amazing. Once again Phil saved the day with projector spares helping me with an important part for one of my machines so I have a little repair job next week to tackle. All in all another wonderful visit at the shop of Classic Home Cinema and we express our thanks to Phil and Denise for the warm welcome once again.

A bit of hot news for you. The magazine has just gone to print so if you don’t already subscribe be quick and contact classic as you may just be in time to order your copy but do be very quick or you may miss out.

Phil is also going ahead with his two day August event again and the date will I am sure appear in the magazine a little later.

Yes it is still there Will and in the wrapping. We were very fortunate to have the pick of the un-listed films first thing in the day and we had a good film evening here last night watching them all. I’m saving myself to show the brand new 16mm Disney film I found and will really enjoy that when I run it.Off to bash the drums at Church now Yay!

That Tom & Jerry 'Skaters' sounds like Mice Follies.

Yes Lary, upon searching on the net, "Mice Follies" is found to be aka "Ice Skaters".

So I am now curios to know, does the credit title also show "Ice Skaters"?

I believe that the Golden Fleece is the last one. Tracking down the other 3 is a must. It will probably be easier to find all for and sell the other one. Finding ones with identical color is almost impossible.
