Hey gang, I've got a copy of both INTOLERANCE and BIRTH...both on Reg. 8mm with soundtracks, and I'd like to perhaps post them on Ebay since they never sold here on the forum, but without the means to look at them properly I want to be sure they're complete. INT is on four 600' Bonum reels, and BIRTH is on three 600' Bonum reels. Does that sound about right?

any thoughts?

Joseph
an 1800 foot BOTN is most likely the 1932 re-release version and could be complete. It ran about 100 minutes and was released on 10 x 200 ft reels so perhaps if combined would fit on 3 very full 600 footers.

Your 4 x 600 foot Intolerence is probably a Niles or Thunderbird print if the reels don't look completely full. If the reels look like they are are full out to the absolute edges it could be a complete Blackhawk

Wow, Dino, thanks a bunch for the reply. Very helpful! Yup, I can see the Blackhawk logo on the head to the first reel of INTOLERANCE, and the reels are indeed very full. And BOTN is likewise on very full reels. Awesome. Thanks!
