    Bet many of ye haven't seen these in the flesh for a while!!

    I don't have many good quality pictures of my parents and these two Butlins souvenirs have preserved very well and when held up to a bright light really show a nice high quality photo of each of them during a very happy family holiday in the 1980's.

    I'd love to get them converted to high quality digital images if possible but haven't been able to find anyone online or locally offering such a service so you guys are my last hope...no pressure!!

    Any suggestions?

    About 3 years ago, I got a shoebox full of old photographs and diapositives scanned by this company:
    Crystal Media Ltd.
    Jenkins Yard, Hudson Road, Sandycove, Co. Dublin A96 CX93

    The quality was very good.
    Word of warning as the price can be perceived as high, as this is veery much a manual process and not necessarily fast.

    Crystal Media did work for me Christmas 2019 - yes, the costs all add up!

    Those have a small piece of slide film in them that can be scanned the same as any other slide... as long as handling the size isn't an issue. (They're small!)

    Could be either. I'm pretty sure the cameras used at six flags back in the day did about 6-up on 35mm film.
    They're probably ink or laser hey printed onto transparency plastic now 50 or 100 up or something like that.
