I called them up regarding vintage cameras and they were nice enough to answer all my questions on the phone.

Questions & Answers

Do you buy Nikon F3HP cameras?

No have a Nikon D5000

I have a "Da LITE' screen and a kodak 8mm projector and a BAIA edivierer and various other old camera stuff. Are you interested in this kind of stuff?

In the most broad sense, 'yes' we are interested in this sort of stuff, but the specifics (make and model, condition, etc) really matter with equipment this old. To get more specific, the vast majority of 8mm projectors we deal with are metal bodied Bell & Howell units (although there are exceptions). For the most part we avoid Kodak 8mm projectors, frankly due to their unreliability and inability to be repaired. Screens have to be in perfect condition, unwrinkled and not faded, to want to take in - and even then demand for them is so low we can't pay much if at all for them. Same goes for editors (Baia being one of the nicer, more well known makes) - the demand is so low that while we'd take in a working unit, we probably couldn't pay anything for it on its own. I hope this clarifies your question. While we do deal with equipment like this, we are picky about what we take in at this point as supply is much greater than demand. Thanks, Michael @ Alpine
