Hey I recently purchased a short SP 8MM B/W Silent of Captain Mephisto and the Transformation Machine. I have searched for more titles and a longer version, is there or was there ever a longer version ? I paid £4.99 on ebay for this reel, its in excellent condition.
Thanks guys n gals

Republic was one of the few companies to release 400 footers back in the days of silent digests.
