Hello,

Most boxes are in very good condition.  The ones that do not have a cover to take off may have some tears at the small opening at the top (not all do though--just some).  These same ones are extremely difficult to pull the reel out of as well--it feels like it's stuck on something, but the box is just super tight around it.  I did not take all the reels out but for the handful that I did, they appeared to be in excellent condition.

I do have an 8mm Sears Du-All projector that works that I plan to sell with these, so viewing them would not be an issue for a buyer.  

With the 1940 and 1962 films missing, would it be worth my time and money to track those down to complete the set that I have?
