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 doing my best to establish the condition of each item that I am listing.
I tend to be quite detailed in my item descriptions, please READ all the details to decide if this item may interest you.
Now, on with the description ...

COSMETIC CONDITION:
USED
CLEAN
Film stock and the reel are both undamaged
The styrofoam plastic case is in good condition with no physical damage.
Cover slip graphics are clear (front and rear) as is the spine identification and the rear printed information is very useful
No peculiar odours coming off the film stock (vinegar smells etc)
NO personal names or other writing on the case or the film reel
TESTING:
Test projector is the ELMO 1200 that I have on hand at the moment.
Film looks to be clean and in good condition, sprocket holes are not damaged.
A White leader film is fitted.
I ran the film through the projector for approximately the first four minutes, to observe the picture and check that the sound quality.
The colours have shifted to the Red/Pinks but not as badly as other films I have viewed - there are still Blues, Greens etc remaining.
The sound is fine, being crisp and clean with no "noises" and it is easy to follow the dialogue
In my opinion, after this brief test, I am happy that the film is as stated on the case and looks to be in reasonably good "technical" condition.
I am very fastidious and careful with these films and I have now packed the film into a sealed clear plastic packet to maintain the current condition and it now patiently awaits a Super 8 film enthusiast to add to their library.
