I bought 2x9.5mm films of unknown subject or condition..bit like a luckydip..they were pathecope gazettes from the late 1930's.
They both have sections of warped film....they play ok on my Specto..but have a focus problem of course.
I think they are worth keeping even in that condition!

Proof that the Specto projector is the one to have for projecting 9.5mm films, even if they're warped.

My new (to me) copy of The Count - Charlie Chaplin - arrived with the first few feet twisted and warped, luckily just the leader and half the "pathescope presents" were ruined, new leader added and and a clean with Filmguard and then it was good to go [Smile]
