Dino ...
You have such a wonderful fascination with the early cinema!
I often, when viewing the early Essany, Mutual or other early shorts, have a fascination for not the action going on at that moment in the picture. No, I enjoy looking at what the city looked like at that time, (as they filmed around L.A.) or the outdoor scenes, much of which still looked a lot like the old west.
I think that's why I love "The Great Train Robbery" so much. When that was shot, the Old West was still much in existence, (1903) in most of America, even more so in the west. When we see the train out there and the woods go by, your looking at America the way Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid saw it.
I'll never be able to actually see that time with my own eyes, but thru early cinema, I'm able to.
Micheal buyer tempted me. Now I'LL watch Ben Hur, one half today, and the other, hopefully, tommorow!

Dino,
Point well taken.
It was also told to me, that if anyone were to go into an Indian food - health store, the food version of camphor is available. I do not rightly understand, if this statement is true?
Indeed you mentioned the benefit of Film Renew has benefits in the cleaning, relaxing, waxing ability, to dry fairly fast.
There are advantages to the other bon-a-fide liquid products. Kudos to Film Guard; et. all, that I implicitly recommend to the needs in any film library collection.
When the hobby expands, it is not any longer a hobby and instead becomes a Library. Ultimately this special attention benefits the films and projector equipment too.
-------------------- Isn't it great that we can all communicate about this great hobby that we love!
