In the Netherlands there's a company that scans 16mm film to HD (1400x1040). I don't think they care what kind of material it is. It's 2,50 euro per minute. So for under 1000 euros you can have the OOT scanned. So whoever owns these 16mm films, maybe it's a nice idea.
The shipping would cost an arm and a leg though. (16mm film reels are bulky to begin with.) It cost me over sixty bucks just to send some DVD captures to Sweden!
Most film collectors would probably be a nervous wreck sending their prints off to another country to be handled by unknown individuals.
