Melissa,

Apologies for the late reply to your message on 16 mm. film restoration.

I'd suggest you post this query to the Association of Moving
Image Archivists listserv (AMIA-L). If you subscribe you'll be sure
to get any responses:

leave subject line blank

and in body, type:

        SUBSCRIBE AMIA-L firstname lastname

Also, since you're in Dayton, you might want to contact LC's Motion
Picture Conservation Center at Wright-Patterson AFB to see if there's a
local vendor they would recommend. Contact:

        Ken Weissman
        513/258-7220

Best,

Henry
