hi Knut, yes the prices of 8mm today is very much cheaper in real terms than they were back then. A walton 4x400 feature was £144.00 in 1975 [Eek!]

Blimey how much, good grief, hec it really is cheaper now by far, you could still buy an OK house near here for £2000 then a so so one for less.
Best Mark.
