Send em to the other forum David, I will gladly assist!

It will be lovely to see you posting there.

Its really easy and nothing need be done from its original resolution! Simply follow the very basic instructions or post them onto me.

We'd love to advertise your new Shop!!
Now who is that lucky first customer prey tell?? [Big Grin]

Music on vinyl is back and now I am hoping film is coming back to!
This shop idea is brilliant and i hope it goes really well and gives others an idea to think about it.
Ebay and Trademe here in New Zealand etc are great for buying films and lamps and parts but to actually see them in a shop would be heaven [Smile]

Very true Clinton, Now we just await for the same on 8 hopefully here in the NW.

Sorry Dave you can get me back later, well done with the great work you are doing for film. [Smile]

Well done David. Hope the shop is a great success. If you're going to BFCC do bring one or two pictures with you. John and I would love to see what you're doing.

Just a quick word to thank David for the welcome and a look at his awesome new stock of films and equipment. It's a long time since I have seen so many 'top shelf' titles on offer and I am sure they will be flying out the door very quickly. Really nice to see 16mm so busy.

I had a thought..oh dear.
One thing we have never seen here is a summer outdoor car boot cine sale. With so much open land that would make a interesting dealer cine event. Just a thought.

I'll be sure to check it out, when i hit the UK next time [Smile]

No 8 mm films?

Posted by Del Phillipson (Member # 513) on March 24, 2016, 04:58 PM:

Good luck with the shop David, I absolutely love your enthusiasm, if I had a 16mm projector I would be paying you a visit for Flashdance :-), Del.

and before you say it, a 16mm projector is not worth a divorce :-)

Posted by Andrew Woodcock (Member # 3260) on March 24, 2016, 05:27 PM:

Agreed! I have had one once, wouldn't want all that again.
A divorce, that is...not a 16mm projector! [Big Grin]

Posted by Del Phillipson (Member # 513) on March 25, 2016, 04:12 AM:

LOL at Andrew, me and the wife have been together for 35 years now so hopefully no divorce in sight [Smile]

Great pictures of David's shop. I just wish that it was easier to post photos on this forum. Surely it must be possible to upgrade the site to a more user friendly system? Am I alone in this thinking?

Posted by Andrew Woodcock (Member # 3260) on March 30, 2016, 10:34 AM:

You are not Terry and I have said the same thing myself on many other occasions.

I now do the majority of my technical or screenshot postings elsewhere because of the enormity of the task here and the extreme ease of such elsewhere,even in HD quality that can run into hundreds of images.

Well perhaps your slogan should read ' come on Brad & Doug - get with the beat'

Posted by Stuart Reid (Member # 1460) on March 30, 2016, 04:11 PM:

Agreed, while I love this forum, the actual operational side of it does seem to be stuck somewhat in the early 2000s!

Posted by David Guest (Member # 2791) on March 30, 2016, 05:43 PM:

yes I have tried several times to post pics but cant why cant you take a picture and post it with your listing its very complicated I would pit on lots of pictures but cant
