I put back up for auction, that Three Little pigs print ...

Please note, as stated before, it does have vinegar syndrome, which you can never get rid of, but you can counteract so that the print can last for a good deal longer. I had this projected by a friend with an old school 35MM projector (not the platter kind), and except for a need for re-focus at one point, it projected just fine. No shrinking sprockets (as the original buyer stated), a little warp of the film and when we actually left the film out, instead of keeping it in a bad, the vingar smell was almost gone, (well, it makes seense that it would be at it's strongest when you actually open up the storage bag).
In my opinion, a print that certainly has some more use in it, especially if one can "iron it' ![[Smile]](smile.gif)

Thanks Maurice ...
It's funny, the person who sent it back said it wouldn't be any good in less than 6 months or so, but I have some other 35MM trailers that have vinegar syndrome, one in particular, the "Yellow Submarine" trailer (once again, a big thank you to Dino for that, all those years ago), and now, at least 5 or more years later, while it has that 'vinnie' smell, the print hasn't turned to goo or gotten dry, brittle, shrunken sprockets or anything else. Granted, you can't get rid of vinegar syndrome, but it doesn't necessarily mean the prints ready for the bin. It just needs some love and care, which I can't personally provide.
