I'm trying to find a copy of a 1999 film "Captain Jack" starring Bob Hoskins, at a sensible price.
It's clearly a bit rare.
Amazon are listing used copies at £24.99, new at an incredible £49

If anyone has an unwanted DVD or VHS I'll gladly swap it for a crisp £10 note (or a couple of beers at the Cropredy bar)


There's a copy for £14.95 on eBay:-

Thanks Jules, VHS duly ordered.

The film is based on a true story from 1992 involving a rogue Whitby seaman called Jack Lammiman taking an illegal trip to some remote Norwegian Artic Island.
A few years earlier myself and a crew from my then workplace on a fishing trip with the same guy in his 1940's 45 foot timber built fishing boat ended up involved in a put up dodgy salvage deal towing a huge broken down Norwegian cargo ship through the night. A long, and dangerous, story but fortunately we all survived to tell the tale.

I've not yet seen the film but am told it's a cracker ! Here's The Independant's article on the film and story from 1993

SORRY
As an infrequent poster it's rather difficult, sometimes impossible, finding ones way about - I looked in The Arms first but couldn't find a suitable topic heading.
Putting Wanted in Search doesn't help either and in the end thought that For Sale and Wanted would have to do.
Should I have started a new topic - "DVD wanted"

I can sympathise with that.  I often can't think which thread to put a post in, and I've been here for a while longer than Pete.

Back on topic: still searching for the Rickenbacker that's right for me.  I have found out that 660/12s (aka the Tom Petty model) have a wider neck than other Ricky 12 strings, so this might be the one for me.  I tried a 360/12 once and boy is the neck narrow for those 12 strings!

I really don't see the point of artificial aged and reliced guitars. The real thing is different though  Smiley

I used to play with a bass player who's bass was not so much road worn, as hercules worn. He was an ex royal marine bandsman, and had gigged all round the med with it.

I love the casually understated reference - "Used". Also "Cigarette burn under the E string tuner". Well, where else are you going to put your fag mid set?  Smiley

The lad has expressed an interest. I am sure that isn't sensible on a student loan.

Advice needed.

A friend of mine has a 1926 Martin Mandolin (its a model A I think from the brief glimpse I have had of it on webcam) that he inherited from his Grandfather. It appears to be in excellent condition and comes in the original hard case. He has broken a couple of fingers recently and can no longer play, and is thinking of selling it. He is going to send me some photos in the net couple of days and I will know more then.

Does anyone know the value of pre-depression era Martin Mandolins? I know they don't fetch the astronomic prices of Gibson instruments of the same period. Does anyone WANT a piece of American music history?

Mark... you could do a lot worse that going to the Mando Hangout

There will be someone who can advise on likely value and you could probably find a buyer too

Mmmm....

I have been looking at the A styles on the net, and from what I saw it could be the koa wood A style (the AK) as it appeared to be too dark to be a spruce top (but he was in a shady room and on a poor quality webcam!) and he says it has a lighter wood backstrip  - that would up the value considerably.

I will know more when I get photos.

They have a very good reputation but I mentioned Mando Hangout as it has a wider audience... and not retail
