HISTORY:
My "world" is 'the arts' and more specifically, music, artwork and hand crafted/decorated chinaware's.
I am not a film enthusiast but an associate has asked me to find new owners for THEIR large collection of photographic and film items ... this is one of those items.
While the world of 8mm/Super 8mm is not my area of expertise, I am learning fast! and my training in electronics helps too!
Here is another item of commercial film stock, intended for the home market in the 1980's
I always try to be extremely detailed in my descriptions and provide as much information as possible regarding the items I am offering, so here we go ...

Very good

Outer cardboard case is in very good condition
NO names or other writing on the case
TESTING:
Because I was testing one of the projectors I will eventually be seeking a new home for (ROLLEI P840T), I ran this film through the projector ENTIRELY, from start to finish.
No film damage observed or heard when passing through the projector, nice smooth sailing through the film pathway on the test projector. Film is clear, clean and nice to view and the sound is without problems.
The colour is like so many of these Super 8 movies I am playing, a definite shift to the "red/pinks" in colouring. Don't look for the "colour control" on your projector because there isn't one! After some research it does seem that the film dyes of this era, particularly the "home market" movies, become unstable over time and in fact it is not unusual to have this red/pinkish "tinge" occur on many Super 8 home movies. The other colour's are still present with perhaps the exception of Greens/Blues which seem to have greatly reduced - Reds are dominant!
Now that I have played this film, I have sealed the complete package in clear plastic to maintain the condition until a new owner is found. It is being stored in a cool, dark, dry area.
