[Mark Todd]

Hi I am looking for nice clean( been kept dry etc ) super 8 silents.

Box full of Collectors clubs even etc etc.

But not ebay doings thanks.

Looking for Seven Chances and the General and steam Boat Bill JNR and Nosferatu and Phantom of the Opera.

But interested in most things if nice and affordable.

Many Thanks Mark.

Mark, I would avoid the Collector's Club standard 8 version of "Seven chances". I believe it was originally released on 6 x 200" reels. The problem is that with most Collector's Club releases that were issued in multiple parts is that the frame line moves up or down between reels and you must re-adjust your framing every 200 feet. Their later super 8 releases were not much better regarding moving frame lines when splicing two or more parts together. It's only really obvious when you start splicing the reels together to make larger ones that you see what a mess you have on screen and are forced to constantly ride the framing control every 10 minutes...a real pain in the a**!!!

Mark - would you be interested in (e.g.) Blackhawk silent versions of SILENT L&H two-reelers?
