There is currently a 35mm print of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan up for sale on Ebay. The seller lists that it is a Eastman color print with no vinegar syndrome. However, the seller also lists that it is faded, but still has some color left, which will require cleaning. It is currently at $11.50 plus $45.07 for shipping with 3 days left. Maybe somebody could get it and start a project? Here is the link if anyone wants to check it out: https://www.ebay.com/itm/135207934761

Just another fan who wants to preserve the theatrical versions of the OT.

The 1982 Eastman Print looks rough. I wonder if any LPP prints exist for this film.

There is also a Star Trek VI 16mm up for sale in Germany it has good color but the pictures don’t tell anything about whether its scope or flat, a dupe or an actual original print. Also, around hundreds of EUROS already.

There is a quite terrible 16mm print with burned in Norwegian titles up on Ebay at the moment.

Khan is a project I’d be interested in. They always want too much for these films. 300 for a poor print as a starting bid is a nonstarter.

Funny coincidence, I was actually the person who purchased this print. I’ve occasionally lurked around these forums but I came across this topic and figured I should chime in. It has been a long time want of mine to have this one on 35mm. I can say that unfortunately the seller and I have different definitions of “some color left”, it is just as faded as every other print of this title. I suspect that the fade could be mostly corrected digitally, but I’m no expert in that area. I’ve inspected and screened the print once since I’ve bought it, and it is almost entirely complete. There are some frames missing at the reel heads and tails. There are some scratches and dirt, but nothing too severe. I’m open to looking into having it scanned if there is some interest here, although the only difference between this version and what is commercially available is the title card, to my knowledge.
