Film strip and recording player (it needs a new needle) with the (21) Hudson Motor Car Company film strips and recordings listed below. They’re all in good shape as far as I know. They worked fine the last time I played them. They’ve been in my basement in Colorado ever since. All are in the original jackets and cans. Can’t guarantee them. Too many things can happen beyond my control. Prefer to sell in person. Will not break up films. I have separate video only tapes & audio only tapes.  $450  for all or will sell tapes separately & those I will ship at your risk;
