No Standard 8 PJ myself, but surely this deserves more than one bid! [Eek!]

Kinda Strange....

It's on 4 600 foot reels.

Has there ever been a standard 8 capable sound projector that runs 600 foot reels that isn't dual gauge?

Why not print it on Super-8 at that rate?

I know the seller (in real life) and I more than trust him to know the difference between S8 and R8, it just seems an odd combination of factors.

All I ask is a wide screen and a projector to light her by...

I dont think that this print was ever released on Super 8mm officially. So it's a great opportunity for someone with a Standard 8mm Sound Projector like an 824 for example.

Even if only 400ft capacity, it will be simple enough to re spool if need be.

I would be looking to buy it if I had a dual gauge sound machine, that's for sure!

Psycho, Ghost of Frankenstein, the Hammer Films Evil of Frankenstein and Phantom of the Opera, as well as Munster Go Home were all released full length in Standard 8 black and white prints in the UK by Powell Films. Munster Go Home and Phantom of the Opera were the only ones re-released by Powell in Super 8 format to the best of my knowledge, but only as 400ft digests, and again in black and white only. I think that Psycho was one of the first films available to hire from Derann when they started their film hire business in the 1960's.

A real shame Tom. Nice find at that price for anyone with the projector to show it on.
