Just out of curiosity how much did you pay for that and what reason did you originally buy it for?

In case any of you folks forgot, I have a 16mm telecine Moviestuff Workprinter, in addition to the 8mm unit I used for the Puggo Edition.

Certainly, I would expect my transfer of a 16mm film to be worse than the GOUT. However, it is likely to be better than the transfer a typical transfer house would do. But the only reason to do it would be in case there were any little differences (as there were in the 8mm films).
I don't remember exactly what I paid for the WorkPrinters, since it was a few years ago... something like 1200 each. I've been using them to transfer historic films owned by the US Table Tennis association, and the magazine Drum Corps World. Of course, along the way I did the SW/ESB 8mm films (Puggo), an old SW 16mm trailer, and my grandparents' old home movies, among other things.
