Pachinko Television Commercial

[hanabi]

Saw this listed on eBay and thought it was really interesting

Pachinko (c.1970s) 16mm Sound Film Television Commercial | eBay

BIN of $24-99 (approx 16.48 GBP)

it's a TV commercial from Montgomery Ward for Pachinko, on 16mm, and although it's only 30 secs long, It may be of interest to collectors

I've never seen it listed before

Rad!!

So who's going to buy it and transfer it to video so we all can see it??

[Skydanz]

I'll check with my photog guy. He may have access to a 16mm to digital converter. I have a 8mm projector but that's useless info ;-)
It's located about 40 minutes away so gas would be cheaper than shipping, barely.

[Skydanz]

Oh wait... It's listed differently on the US EBay. Only $3.88 shipping. I couldn't open my car door for less than that!

Its sold! Skydanz, did you buy it?

[alphaminor]

I was me. Was afraid it would fall into non-pachitalk member hands and we might not get to see it
I plan on having professionals create an HD version, and posting it on YouTube. Will start setting it up immediately

[Card Shark]

I almost pulled the trigger on this just to be sure it stayed I. Our community. As I do not have any equipment to convert this, my plan was to donate it to a member who could. I am so glad it ended up with a member.

[Skydanz]

Sorry guys. My internet has been awol for 2 days. Glad you got AM.

[MrGneiss]

Cool!!

[alphaminor]

The film arrived and I've found a place locally to take it to on Monday
Will keep you posted on its progress

Great news!!

[Drunkenclam]

Internet tea sources are fine, but still requires one person to do the initial work, spend a little time and money for no reward except for the fact they are helping out others.

Well done

[Super Dave Osbourne]

Toss in a very big thank you for historical efforts, out of pocket, others benefit. Well done!

[alphaminor]

Thanks for the kind comments

The film is now in the hands of a film transfer service and I should get it back with the next two or three weeks although he said its so short they could very well get to it sooner ( so now begins the waiting game...)
At first the counter guy was not quite sure how to price it since they never get such short films,but he seemed to appreciated what it contained (and its rarity) and I bet is curious to see it himself
