Video is from this very print for sale. Better watch it, every frame is visible.
This is a used vintage print in
Very Good Condition.
Very Good due to
no splices, mild bendiness, strong clear sound, no odor, some minor dirt/scratch/splice from source material. No splices detected during white glove inspection. A Blackhawk Films Print. I acquired this film in 1998. It has recently been professionally cleaned and lubricated with dry-silicone infused reverse wiping system. It has been stored in a temperature and humidity controlled environment.
Stanley's and Oliver's army buddy Eddie Smith gets killed in a war, so the boys have to find the grandparents of Eddie's daughter. So they go from door to door looking for every Smiths there are in the town. It's not an easy job for the boys to do, because there are many Smiths but only two boys. And it doesn't make the job any easier that they get blamed for a bank robbery. Pack Up Your Troubles is a very funny comedy from Laurel and Hardy. It is one of the best Laurel and Hardy movies. The movie has many funny situations. Watch the movie and you just can't stop laughing. -  Petri Pelkonen on IMDb
The
video clips
are done by re-photography, not a proper telecine:
the flicker you see is from the crude video transfer, and is not in the film.
The clip is meant to be viewed in
1080 HD
and includes photos of reel, cans, leaders and all detected splices, which precede the film in six segments shown concurrently with full-frame segments interspersed.
I strongly recommend viewing the video by clicking the Youtube icon, which will open a new window to view on YouTube, and giving you better video controls than the imbedded player provides.
Stills
are screen grabs from Final Cut, de-interlaced by duplication, so the resolution is half as sharp as the film.
Photographs
of reels and cans are done on one inch pegboard background for scale. Leader / splice / edge # images made against fluorescent background and
may vary slightly in color balance
.
FAQ:
Why do you charge so much?
Because these are rare quality prints of historic films, fully white-glove inspected with all flaws disclosed. Prints are from reliable distributors of the golden age of 16mm film (1950s-1980s), not from seconds houses, not from knock houses.
Do I have to take the cans?
Yes, you do, both for shipping protection and for preservation. (They don’t weigh that much compared to the film.)
Is there a cheaper way to ship overseas?
Not without insurance and delivery confirmation, both required for buyer and seller protection.
Why is there foam padding in the cans?
To protect the film in shipping.
The foam is not archival and should be removed before storage.
Why do the photos show a lot of reels and cans?
I show both sides of all reels and both sides of each can half.
What are “notched sprockets”?
These are small curved edged cuts made with a special tool that removes the outer edge of the sprocket wall, preventing a nicked sprocket from tearing the film during white glove inspection. Notching also helps prevent dust/dirt from collecting in nicked sprockets. Only done when the sprocket wall is broken or otherwise damaged. Notching does not interfere with the normal advance of the claw mechanism.
What is “white-glove” inspection?
Wearing actual white cotton gloves to prevent finger oils from depositing on the film surface, one spools the film with rewinds while gently gripping the film edges. In this manner one can detect splices, nicks, curbing and other flaws. I subsequently photograph all splices and significant flaws that I detect.
What cleaning machine do you use?
It is a proprietary design based on the Palomar cleaning/inspection system, but including an edge-cleaning stage and finer cleaning tapes infused with nano-particulate optically flat dry silicone which also functions as a lubricant. The reverse motion of the cleaning spools pulls deposits away from film instantly, and cannot produce the wavy scratching common to hand cleaning by rag and solvent. Usually removes significant deposits, primarily from sprocket and track, but also from picture area and particularly the film edges, where deposits are commonly most heavy yet missed by most cleaning systems short of rewashing in an ultrasonic surfactant bath.
Do I have to use Paypal?
Yes, you do.
Do you offer discounts for multiple purchases?
Subscribe to the store to get 10% off 2+ item purchases. Be sure to use the cart for these purchases for the discount to apply.
Will you change the customs form?
No, it will reflect the sale exactly.
Can I take a long time to pay?
That would be impolite, and can delay shipping turnover.
Please communicate if payment is to be delayed.
Why does it take 3 days to ship?
Because Psycles is a solo operation and the Houdini Packaging™ takes time.
When will you leave feedback?
Shortly after you, the buyer, does. I want to be certain you are happy with the purchase and service.

Let your eyes be your guide: consult the photos and video for full disclosure of anything overlooked in the text description.
