16mm? Yikes. My old Mum had one of those.

I've got two and about a dozen reels of various old TV shows. I hav a couple of Treks, also. Such a great way to travel into the past (Star Trek...brought to you by...).

^^^When I was a teenager in the late-70s, back in my small southern Kentucky home town, we'd use the projector at our tiny public library, rent 16mm copies of the films through the library system, and gather there to view them (our local station wasn't airing the reruns in those years). That was also the way I was able to see films like Metropolis and many Kurosawa epics--small Kentucky stations never ran stuff like that.
