How is the quality of the "Star Trek" episodes from Canterbury?

I think they were good in general but not all the same. I've owned two and both were quite sharp, but I sold one because the colour was warm. I think this was because of the master used rather than the 8mm print being faded.

I have three of the full length episodes and 'Let This Be Your Last Battlefield' is by far and away the best quality. It's a very interesting story too but not as repeatable as the others such as 'The Deadly Years', 'Shore Leave' and 'Cats Paw'.

I have two Star Trek titles on Super 8. "Catspaw", a great title for halloween showings, which is a Canterbury Films release and is still in excellent condition. The other one is "The Squire of Gothos", again a great quality print but I do not know who released it.

I have "City on the Edge of Forever." It's on a 600-ft reel and a 400-ft reel. It's pinkish but still has some color. I don't know what company released it, since I don't have the original packaging and the leaders are not informative.

I assume now that it is probably Canterbury Films. It's a sharp print with great sound, and complete from the first scene, before the opening, to the Desilu logo & jingle after the ending credits.
