Neg1,

please stop teasing us and just tell us straight away if you're doing this or not.

Your personal life might be important but understand that this isn't a forum dealing with that. So you're in the progress of getting a girlfriend? Good for you. She's much younger than you? That's your business. Unless of course you decide to take that to a Star Wars fanboard. Wherever you'd decide to chat about that though, you would have people who disagree with what you're doing. But the point remains, this is not the board for such discussion.

I don't know if you even read my offer, or are even considering it, or even have the time for it but, as others have said if you're not planning on doing anything with these prints, please either give or sell them to somebody who has the capabilities and/or equipment to properly treat these beauties.

And about my offer, a couple of pages ago I told you that if you'd just scan these prints and in whatever way get the digitized copies to me - since I don't have the needed equipment to scan these prints myself, I'd happily restore them frame by frame if necessary and do everything needed to give SW fans what they've been waiting for for so long. And I'd still give you all credit you deserve for allowing this to happen.

You don't have to take my word for it. Just send me a minute or two of footage and I'll show you what I'm capable of. 

So please, don't just let these prints decay until they're beyond repair. Do this while it's still possible.
