Paul, don’t know where you’re located. I paid $600 for about 6 of the large reels and 10-20 of the small ones (about 4", I don't rem the footage). He put a copy on an external hard drive to edit (which I haven’t begun), and on two DVDs with music so we can view them until I get to the big edit. I took it to someone’s house locally (Florida). He had a company name but I doubt if you would be interested since the price you located is much cheaper. I appreciated that I could do the transportation.

I used imemories.com with a few reels as a test and was happy with them but I would like to do my entire collection and they will be expensive for that. I have about 21 of the 50-ft reels and 5 or 6 large medium to large reels. Another company I found that seems to have excellent pricing is http://www.homemoviedepot.com/. I would like to end up with computer files that I can later edit, create my own DVD's, etc. and it looks like I could get all my film done and in this format for about $500. Still a lot of money but if the quality is decent it would be nice to have it all done. Anyhow, it's a scary though to send off all my un-replaceable film from the 40s-70s to some unknown company for 4-6 weeks so any suggestions, comments, ideas, etc. would be appreciated.
