I have a couple prints I would like to sell cheap but didn't know if there was any interest. One is called Tight Spot. 3-reels but had strong vinigar smell when I got it. Soaked it in filmrenew so it's not so bad now but was just released on DVD. The other is Out of the Depths with light vinigar smell treated as well. 2-Reels. I'll take 40 for either films plus shipping. Neither print has any splices or scratches. Both clean. Any questions please email or PM.

Filmrenew really doesn't seem to have much effect on vinegar films; Vitafilm has worked much better for me. Soak the print, then put it back in the can and leave it to dry as long as you like. Sometimes Vitafilm seems to leave a slightly sticky residue on the film; this can be removed with Filmrenew (wipe on, wipe off, then screen or air dry to eliminate excess) or a once-over with a quick-drying cleaner like Ecco or Renovex if you're lucky enough to have any left.

Best luck!
