Hi Lucas, and welcome to the Forum. We're all here to help each other.
As Jan says, a serious problem. However I may be able to help. I was looking for some Super 8 Kodachrome Sound for 2 or 3 special occasions: daughter's graduation; son's engagement party etc.etc. and came across a 'friend of a friend of a friend' who was and is a professional photographer with a quantity of these films in cold storage for sale. He had about 70 cartridges left the last time I bought some. I actually bought 18 at that time, so it's possible he may still have around 50 cartridges left.
They are dated 1998 and work PERFECTLY!
I had decided to buy the lot, but have since realised that the cost would be prohibitive, as he wants big bucks for them; not surprising though, as they're probably the very last ones left on the planet.
I suggest you e-mail my contact, Richard Moses in London, on: richard@netgen.net and give him my name. You can let him know I don't need the whole lot after all, and I'm sure you will be able to get as many as you want.
Good luck,
Dave.
