Hi!

I just got my copy of "The Incredible Hulk" Part 1 and 2 today! [Big Grin]

But they are both mounted on one BIG 830' reel, that is to big for my projector to handle.

So i now need two (plastic) 400' reels to put them back on. And sense they are going to be used for the same film, of course two reels of the same kind is preferred.

I can also just for fun add that we actually had a place here in my own home town that used to (in this day and age) sell brand new 400' reels. But unfortunately i found out that they have just recently stopped selling them! [Mad]

Too bad we are so far away. I would swap your 800' reel for 400' reels.

Yes, that is too bad [Frown]

And also i am not sure if i really want to swap it. It might come in handy some day [Wink]

Especially when i somewhat have a plan to in the future upgrade to something with a bigger capacity. You know, shipping costs for those are quite on the pricey side, especially knowing that this particular reel size seems quite hard to come by in this small country.

So... is there anyone here from Europe that might kick in and help?
