I just listed 3 super 8 sound features on Ebay. They're in near mint condition with original boxes. These auctions will not start until 8 o'clock EST Thursday night(09/14/06)and cannot be viewed until that time.
Thanks. [Smile]

Your listing for the Chaplin films brought back some memories. As I recall, when these prints were first offered weren't they only offered for long-term lease with some sort of time limit ? Was that ever enforced, or were you able to renew or outright purchase ?

Or am I just nuts ?

Gosh, Robert, I don't know the answer to that. I purchased these from the original owner. No clues to that info with the films. Maybe a google search would shed some light. I'll bet someone on the forum knows the answer.

I had to edit the initial F/S post above because I made a mistake in the listing of all three films and had to end the auctions and restart them. [Embarrassed]

They still have the same descriptions and starting price($9.99) and are still near mint. [Big Grin]

Dan, How is the sharpness of both Chaplin films? How do they compare with the Blackhawk prints?
Modern Times looks a bit soft in your scans, but then it may be my impression or the camera.

Robert,

Here is the link where we discussed the Blackhawk Chaplin lease. Of course, this doesn't rule out the "just nuts" possibility. [Big Grin]

Dimitrios, the characters were always in motion, so it was hard get a shot of someone standing still. The photo of the Ringmaster(The Circus) is a still shot. I guess that is the screen shot that would best determine the sharpness of focus on the Chaplins. The L&H Blackhawk is a bit washed.

The physical condition of all three features is pristine with no splices and all lab leaders intact. And the starting bid is $9.99. [Eek!]

Thanks, Doug .

Funny how I can remember Super 8 info from 30 years ago but I sometimes can't remember who I'm calling by the time I'm finished dialing the telephone ! [Big Grin]
