Hi Steve! I just noticed that "The Great Race" print in your pictures. Please tell me about that! Where did it come from? Has the color held up? Scope? I've seen many 16mm prints for sale over the years but never on super 8. So cool. One of my favorite comedies and one of the best from Blake Edwards for sure. Years ago I had the pleasure of seeing a beautiful IB Tech print on the widescreen at the Egyptian Theater in Hollywood. I lived nearby then and would walk over for what was an amazing presentation of films, mainly because one or several of the stars or director would attend and do Q&A afterwards. When this one ended who came bounding down the aisle and actually left over the end of the front row to answer questions? Tony Curtis! Amazing.

Hi Mark.
I picked up the print about twelve years ago, on what is the french version of craigslist ( leboncoin ). I didn't pay alot for it and thought it was worth a chance as I have never seen another one come up for sale.
It is on 3 x 1200' reels and is printed in widescreen with bars top and bottom and is a sharp print, but sadly it is now faded to pink. It is in English but only has the main track with no balance stripe. This leads me to think that it originated from ether Spain or Italy, as they never seemed to bother with a balance stripe.
One thing I have found useful for storing 1200' reels are record mailer boxes. As the reels are the same size of a LP. And the flaps on the box open up to allow for the thickness of the reel to fit inside.
