Hello folks!

Hey, i have a super 8 print of the film, "The Adventures of Frontier Fremont" (another of the Sunn Classics nature films thyat starred both Dan Haggerty and in this case, Denver Pyle as well, though they are both not playing the parts that they did in 'Grizzly Adams".

OK, this appears to be an extremely RARE film, whether on VHS, super 8 or 16MM. My print came from Italy, and is in italian and even though it has a slight Kodak SP fade, I'd love to attempt a rerecord of this film with an english soundtrack.

So, does any 16MM collector actually own a print of this feature ...

... and ...

Could I get an english soundtrack from you're copy?

The trick is getting a 16mm device with a synchronous motor that either locks to 60Hz incoming power or some other timing control. Sidebar: I think it's ironic that you can have home-use Eumigs with variable speed or Elmos with full on pulse-control systems, but most classroom 16mm projectors ($$$! back in the day) are untrustworthy for speed.

Telecine systems would probably be the most common equipment that qualifies. Unfortunately, most places that have such want $$$ for doing a transfer. Good luck!

I'll say there was a rare vhs copy sold on ebay in 2015 for 202.49
Well I have a Elmo 16mm TRV transfer I can offer my services to transfer the sound if somebody has the film.
