Professional
16mm* film to VHS or DVD transfers are now available.
Using a brand new Tobin TVT-16 model which replaces the old Elmo TRV-16 last produced in the 1980s, extremely pleasing
and accurate transfers can be had with ease and for a low price.
Technical notes and a photo
of the machine can be found at the Tobin website:

Shipping:
Client must pay return shipping which will be based on what the buyer paid to ship film to me once
package is received. For example, if buyer spends $10 sending in materials, buyer must include an additional $10 for the return
shipping of the films and completed product.
Notes: The Tobin TVT-16 gives a realistic reproduction of the film in its current state. I am unable to tweak, fix,
or eliminate any pre-existing color, sound, damage, lines, or any other problems that your film may have (both originally
or due to age or mishandling through the years).
To initiate a film transfer, please contact
me with your information via the Order Form page on this site. I will try to help you if you're unsure of the type or amount
of film you have.
*= I am unable to transfer Standard 8mm, Super 8, 35mm or any other format of reel
film.
