Kevin! My goodness, I think you know my mother!!!
Without being toooo weird...are you Kevin from "Dryburn"???
If so mate, so glad to see you here. I still have one of your Elf 16mm projectors. Sadly, "The House that Dripped Blood" 16mm feature went totally red in the end but I loved it all the same!
If you are not who I think then please forgive and forget this post...if so then I have 2 Raiders prints + feature in stereo sound which you are more than welcome to come and see...unfortunatley I live in Cheshire now...but come and see them all the same!!!

Hi Rob, yes it is me! How is your mam? I am pleased you liked House That Dripped Blood. Do you still have it then? I have a family now, little boy etc. I don't get to go to conventions now, just getting back into a bit of collecting.
So, do you have a spare copy of Raiders for sale or trade? That would be great if you have. I have my eye on a great copy on ebay, but I don't think he is going to ship to the UK?

Kevin! She is fine and so are all of the family!
So sorry, but I don't have "Raiders" for sale .
I only have 2 copies (one with German box) and this is such a valuable film to me that I can't let it go...please feel free to get in touch and come 'round and see it!!!
Sadly, "The House that Dripped Blood" went totally red in the end (my fault)* but it gave us all HUGE enjoyment!!! And at bargain price! This is really a guy you can trust on this forum!!!
Your Elf 16mm is still one of the 2 that I run regularly and have maintained over the years.
So glad to see you here,
all the best,
Rob!
*just to clarify - totally my fault through bad storgae - the colour was IMMACULATE when I bought it.

That's OK Rob. Sadly we can't afford to travel much these days, so I can't come to see your films. Sorry. Glad you liked what I sold you in the past. I have sold a huge amount of films over the years and regret it. However, I still have loads of good films on 8mm and recently on 16mm (mostly shorts). I've got a really stunning print of Disney's Bone Trouble on 16mm, IB Tech! I enjoy that one. I've been collecting some 16mm castle films and I got Revenge Of The Creature, superb! Also, I got a bargain on ebay two 16mm sports films (castle) for 99p!!! Postage was expensive though...
