Spotted these on eBay. Looks like the 1800ft(?) size:

I only use the 1200fts ( and they have to be black! )

Thanks for that Steven, I shall keep my eye on them, though I have more to come from Mr Clark as a priority first.

I believe on this diameter they will be 2200ft reels. I have never seen the 1800ft reels in silver, they all tend to be in black.

Just wish these had the official and original hammered finished square cans with them. Fairly useless by themselves with no proper storage solution and that round old can isn't the answer! lol.

I am a huge fan of these lovely engineered stylish reels. They are just as "at home" when used on a long play unit as they are on a Beaulieu.
Far better made all round to the Fumeo equivalent with the terrible hollow bores.

They are nice... I have both Elmo GS 1200 and a Beaulieu and I rotate the use. But this means I have made 1200ft reels the limit. The Beaulieu black 1200fts are my favourites and I picked up two of the last new ones that Wittner had about a year ago. They have that great sprung clip for the film. Best reels really.
