16mm Film

[czark]

So I recently acquired a 16mm Kodak Pegeant projector.

Its in pretty good condition and everything appears to be working on idle.
I was wondering if anyone had any 16mm film lying around they would like to sell. Prices on eBay vary based on condition and demand for the title, but its shipping that puts me off buying from there.

$7 for a 5 minute cartoon - Excellent!
$25-35 for shipping - Sad face! and that's if they agree to ship to Aus in the first place.

I'm mainly interested in cartoons of any kind but interested to see if anyone even has anything.

Long story but a few years ago i came across a 8mm & 16mm Film Forum and spent a few minutes browsing,i forget what it was called and may have been a sub-forum but Google is your best Friend.

Basil, I completely forgot to look into the forums. I'll do some googling and see if there are any in Australia.

I have many feet of the old standard 8mm movie film that I took in my younger days.

I would dearly love to get it put down to DVD but never gave it another thought.

I have movies taken of the Beatles at the Stadium in Sydney when they were out here.   I have much feet of film of the development of the Sydney Opera House and the changing horizon of Sydney.

Oh they were the days.

Has a separate speaker too, and when put together it becomes a carry case.

Hello,

Recycling shops and Op. shops are also worth a look. I will keep my eyes open, and if I see anything cheap will grab it. I am thinking for a few dollars almost anything is worth getting, as if the content is poor it can be used to fault-find and testing. Because of the relative cost, I would expect anything really bad to have disposed of years ago.

Thanks Chris.
From what I have read, If the film looks pink and /or has strong vinegar like smell its bad. But unless you actually run the full length its a risk you need to take. For a few bucks I'm all for it!
I'll be visiting my local op shops to see what I can find too.
