When you think about it, over the years you have spent a great deal of time, money and energy on your old movie films … purchasing cameras, films, projectors, etc. In fact in today’s inflated dollars often we find our clients have thousands of dollars invested in their old movie films, containing a lifetime of treasured memories.
However due to the chemical makeup of 8mm & 16mm movie films, research indicates … there is not much time left to salvage your family heirlooms before they become … a pile of dust. Heat and humidity take their toll on 8mm films over time. Even if they have been stored away in a safe dark place, whilst this helps, it does not stop the inevitable from happening!
You may be thinking … What a GREAT waste … my films are sitting in a box … in the closet where they have been for the last few (or many) years, no projector to play them on, it’s broken and no parts or technicians to fix it. Besides it would be too expensive even if you could arrange a repair.
Maybe you are lucky enough to have a projector that is still working, great, now what? It’s a VERY time consuming exercise whenever you go to simply play back even just one old 3 minute film. Furthermore, you cannot stop your films from AGEING and playing them on an old movie projector may even … damage them further! So this is not a solution.
