Yeah, it's been too long. I've still got the Superman 2 and Roger Rabbit boxes for you, ready for next time you're passing. As for Mazel, it was a chaotic place, but I don't remember too many affordable bargains for someone on paper-round wages!

Can some-one correct me if I'm wrong with the name, but in the late 70's early 80's there was a shop near where I lived called I think 'Scientific and Technical' they also had mail order in the Sunday papers. They used to sell techi gadgets and electronics,a bit like Tandy, they also sold super 8 sound projectors, and were the main distributor for Marketing Films in the South-West, they had all the Marketing titles in stock, the whole place was like an Aladdin's Cave, and their prices were very good.....

I start a ten day shoot on Monday, Andrew, but after that am definitely up for a screening. Steve, the Scientific and Technical rings a bell for me, I seem to remember adverts for it.

I remember a Scientific and Technical Instruments in High Holborn. The handled or maybe imported Russian camera equipment, cine, still and projectors also radios and even surgical equipment. I didn't see any film but as they were so close to Mountain's headquarters I suspect they didn't get a deal with anyone.
