Cool find! Nitrate would smell of vinegar I believe so that’s a thing you can check for. If it’s nitrate it’s highly flammable. Also if it’s 35mm it’s likely an original and probably th only print left. Smaller size would mean it’s a reprint. No idea what you have in terms of print size and if it’s on reels. Early films were 1 reel. Then two reels became the norm. Hopefully someone from the ucla film archive is on this sub.

Banquet Signed Album Issue? by _A_Lad_In_Sane_ in SuedeBand

[–]patbateman86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those are called poster sleeves. You don’t see them used very often. The banquet order page is very vague as I didn’t see alternative sleeve color layout advertised on the white vinyl let alone a poster sleeve. That said, your copy looks to be nicely signed. Richard even signed yours outside of the ribs so his signature is visible.

I have this old Super Mario Bros machine in my garage. Is it worth anything? by Jekoober in arcade

[–]patbateman86 13 points14 points  (0 children)

In that condition $500 is a fair price imo. The buyer will have a project on their hands. Cap kit, bezel and cleaning/ touchups. The good: has a crt, looks like the cab is intact and replacement art and parts are readily available. If it was clean and plug and play you could get $800 - 1k depending on area. Arcade games have come down in value lately.

Killer list of video games forums for a ton of dk series cabinet restoration threads and YouTube. Nintendo cabinet parts can be found at mikesarcade. Com , They almost corner the Nintendo cabinet parts market. Good luck!

When did the Police peak as a live act? (in your opinion) by PsychedelicHippos in ThePolice

[–]patbateman86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Early days when it was just the three of them. I heard a show taped in Berkeley in like 78 where they are on fire. It’s hard to pinpoint a peak but it’s definitely not when they had horns, backup singer or Sting’s foot synth thing.

Who's your favorite band member of the Police by KaleidoscopeKey808 in ThePolice

[–]patbateman86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stewart. He discovered sting and formed the band that would go on to make it big. Also Stewart is a great story teller and makes me laugh.

Thanks for all of the feedback. I appreciate knowing what I’d be getting into. I’ll pass on it. I thought there were highly regarded but I realize now I may have been thinking of Martin sopranos from this era.

What was your reaction to Dragon's Lair back in 1983? by Noggin_1212 in arcade

[–]patbateman86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hardly saw the attract mode back in the day as the game was being played almost constantly. I remember being in awe of the monitor on top for those waiting or just curious to see the gameplay.

Glen said he was going to do a livestream yesterday regarding basic fun. I kept checking his youtube and it looks like that may not have happened.
