Info: 70mm reel 2 of empire strikes back up on ebay, not my auction and sadly the film is pinkish

This will most likely be pulled from the listings since it is not film cels but an entire reel.  They don’t allow 35mm or 70mm as i recall.

I would buy it if it was film cel’s as it is a print i won’t touch it.  Still Interesting.  Only the second time i have seen a reel like this the last time it was return of the jedi and featured luke and vader’s duel.

I removed the link because i figured it was an illegal auction.  Don’t want to violate the forum rules not sure if this is one, but just in case,lol.

Ebay is so asleep at the wheel half the time, I'm surprised they would even notice. (They screwed their search engine up royally several days ago.) Can't find the listing, so I presume it's gone now. :(

A 70mm reel might be useful in documenting the visual differences from the 35mm version if nothing else. Doubt anybody has a projector in their basement.

Post this sort of thing in the preservation section next time! Talk of old film reels has not been verboten so far.

Wow. Didn't think things like this popped up anymore. My question is: what happened to all of the prints made for the various rereleases and 97 rerelease?

Another 70mm reel of empire has surfaced, are they all faded this badly.  This one looks worse than the last one. It is reel number 4 and if i remember correctly it is the same seller.  If he has the whole print he is selling is piecemeal pretending he is selling filmcels, still wonder why ebay lets this go.
