Just checked the Classic Home Cinema site and it states they are looking for someone to purchase the entire 9.5mm collection. Being that they are one of the most reasonable places for me (living in the US) to purchase decent quality prints, I'm scared. Buckingham told me they would not sell me a projector being that I am in the states, and have never answered my emails for information on prints they offer for sale. Who else is there?

The best thing that Phil Shead can do is to attend one of the two 9.5mm conventions (spring fair april or get together october). Ive never seen him at either although he attends other conventions. But at the end of the day 9.5mm films are just not selling unless it is mint and rare. And as for projectors, people today only want modern top models and not the 200B's, Ace's, H's which you see everywhere. A lot of 9.5 ends up in the skip!
