Not sure if anyone's interested in this? I figured one of us better buy it for historical purposes!

How much does a 16mm projector cost? I'll buy it in a heartbeat if the method to watch it is attainable.

I'll wait for someone to buy it and convert it to digital, or watch it on the History/Military Channel...where I think I've already seen it. ;)

Damn I would love to have this but, there is no way I can buy it this close to Christmas.

Jack a projector can cost anywhere from $100 to a couple of hundred dollars. Also this film is old so you would not want to take a chance of it breaking or getting eaten by the projector by playing it to much.

To convert this film to DVD will cost around 11 to 15 cents per-foot just to have it converted with no bells or whistles. When I had my films done Lockheed Marten footed the bill and had the film enhanced and covers made....which I'm sure cost a few "bills"!

This looks like a sweet film to have but unless you have a few hundred spare dollars lying around I don't suggest you bid on this one.

Then again if anyone does buy it let me know and maybe we can network with some companies dealing with the A-10 and have it converted at their expense....I did it once maybe I can come across again.
