May to June 2022

 

Good News…Blackpool is on!

The last few Blackpool  Film Collectors’ Conventions have been run by Elaine Guest, but she has decided to stop running it, so in stepped five notable film collectors to run it between them, the ‘Magnificent 5’ are (in no particular order, as they say!) Mark Norton, Dave Watson, Paul Barker, Simon McConway & Adrian Winchester, who have taken on the duties of running the Blackpool weekend. Right here’s the facts you need to know:

 

Blackpool Film Collectors’ Convention 2022

Friday 18^th to Sunday 20^th November

Grand Hotel

Blackpool

FY1 2JQ

 

Tickets are still only £6, you can park freely in the hotel’s car park as well (you just need to register your car at reception). The weekend kicks off on the Friday night with a 35mm show, Sturday has a all day 8 & 16mm cinema, there’s the Film Collectors’ Dinner on the Saturday evening, and then the actual convention comes around on the Sunday, with the usual dealers, bring and buy and of course the famous auction. If you’d like to book for the Sturday Dinner then contact Adrian Winchester on 020 8656 0168, to book a room at the hotel then telephone 01253 623434 Ext. 3, and ask for Sally Wilson, and mention the Film Convention for the best rates.

 

Discounts May to June

Once again It’s the same as last issue, I’m keeping the discount on 200’ silent films at 50%, as I’m still trying to shift a few titles, otherwise just look at the top of each OLD STOCK 8mm column and you will see the discount on that size of film, it will be either 25% or 30%. All offers run until 30^th June 2022, and please don’t forget your P&P

 

New Stock Items

A nice mixture from F/L features all the way down to trailers, and a bit of everything inbetween, film wise, I’ve also listed two new 8mm projectors, a nice Eumig 810D dual gauge, and a really fine Elmo ST1200 HD, just serviced by John White, the sound from it is about the best I’ve heard from any 8mm machine for a long time, and I’ve also listed some nice lenses as well, and lastly I’ve got a pair of sort after Elmo rewind arms, they have lost a lot of their paint, but that does not affect their use, and boy are they handy, I’ve had a pair for 40 years now, so easy to attach to any table, anyway have a look for yourself if interested!
