Would anyone happen to know if Thunderbird released titles in 16mm? If so, any information on print quality would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Mark

Thanks David. How was the quality generally?

Yes...Thunderbird came out with quite a few 16mm films. Tom Donahoo was one of the first people to do the research to find films whose copyright had expired and bring them to 8mm collectors....films like The 39 Steps and Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe. The quality varied, but usually was very good...the 16mm prints were usually as good a dupes as you could get.
