Hi Osi,I've just checked this film as one of our members was going
to buy it but it's marked on the first reel,so I can't sell that to
anyone.Shame because it wasn't a bad print,but it's my own
fault,because it wasn't my print, I should have checked it.

Looks like you may have to sell Rocky III Osi! Or...lower the price on Empire. [Smile]

Just kidding!
Hugh..what does "Marked" mean?

Probably a nasty scratch that just, well, pisses off the owner of any said print in that condition!

I have an optical super 8 print of "Island of Dr. Moreuah" (hell, I don't know how to spell that name!), and it, incredibly, has perfect color, but also a perfect skinny green scratch that runs the whole bloody film on the left hand side!

Well the good news is the mark is on the base side and hardly
shows,thank God,so a clean with Film Renew should take care of
it,thats only on reel one.I have a forum member who is interested
and will let me know if he wants it.Now for the big question,
what the hell is it about?

I have over the years adopted a system that helps me deal with
and accept scratches on films,and that is,as long as my machines
haven't caused them,I can live with that.I've a lovely 16mm
print of "20 Million Miles to Earth" that has a scratch through the
whole picture on the emulsion side,but that doesn't detract from
the enjoyment too much,especially when you think of the folks
that would love a print, scratched or otherwise,also I did get it
cheaper.

Doug,

I should say that the search feature in this forum using very strange algoritm making the result sometime not what we want. Probably this is the software problem.

Hugh,

for next time you can also search using google searching system by puting the forum URL under the limited search only in this forum. You need to write on the search box as follow:

"Ferran Gimenez" site:http://8mmforum.film-tech.com/

the result will be:

Searching with google

This system can be used for any word that you think is writen in particular topic.

cheers,

Winbert,

In this specific case the search feature worked fine. A misplaced vowel was the culprit.

Let's return this thread to the topic at hand. Highlander anyone?
