Since I am having trouble finding prints for sale on the following two Hammer Derann feature releases I would like to make the following offers for two odd reels:

SCARS OF DRACULA: Reel #3 600' from the later uncut release (not the 4 X 400' version). I would offer $200 for the reel plus my reel which is gorgeous except for a light green scratch for the first 200'. Scratch isn't bad.

DR. JEKYLL AND SISTER HYDE: Reel #3 600'. I would offer $150 plus my reel which, again, is gorgeous excpet for some scratches on the first half - then it clears up.

I would pay for your reel and then when I receive it and it is indeed in good shape, I would ship you mine as a replacement so you still have a complete feature - and some cash!

Take care regarding such an exchange even if the opportunity comes up. After I bought my copy, when it was available new, I had to change a reel and the replacement was annoyingly different in terms of looking significantly darker. You might solve one issue, but replace it with another.

That's true. I have seen prints that vary in quality. So I'm probably safer looking for full features instead of switching odd reels. I'm thinking Derann didn't print too many of these features because they come up for sale so rarely... so the search goes on...
