Yes, we can preserve the audio from your film reels. Although rare, some film was recorded with original audio. If you have gold or copper-colored magnetic strips running along both edges of your Super 8 mm film strip, or a clear optical strip with an audio wave on your 16 mm film strip, you have original audio.Â
Your original media and containers will be returned with your completed order.Â
