Edit Reason: Shipping Update
)
Sorry for the double post, but...
Thank you, everyone, for your contributions! Thankfully due to a surprise jump in pledges recently, I've ended up with a bit of extra cash exceeding the original goal and after a bit of conferring with my contact, he was able to offer me the service of having the film be cleaned with FilmGuard with some of that extra funding (which I hope will greatly benefit the already supposedly decent print having been told it merely suffers from "some dirt speckles and some light occasional wear for sure here and there").
Anyways, I have just sent over the funds to him so he can rent out, rinse and scan the print, so at this point, all we can do now is wait for a status update I suppose.
As for the few who have pledged and yet to donate (a member from a different forum & a supporter on Facebook), I'll be contacting them about it to see what they want to with the funding, whether it'd be to funnel into another scan that was initially on the list of movies (Big Trouble In Little China was the second-place runner-up in that 🔍StrawPoll from a bit back, and since I also know an IRL friend who'd be willing to chip in on that, I may look into starting a new thread on that soon enough) I plan to tackle or simply just rescind.
So anyway, once again, thank you all!
I just got an update on the shipping situation.

Quote:I was just informed that The Keep will be shipped to the scanner no later than Tuesday 26th. It will go via Fed Ex and will probably be there the next day.
