How about this one? I have an unexposed K40 61m (200ft) sound cartridge in original box amongst my extensive collection of odds and ends. Dated 9/82, the inner protective packet has been opened (owner noted it as 8/7/89). As this came from the estate of a pro film cameraman I am pretty sure none of it has been exposed (or he would have finished it and had it proccessed).

Anyone prepared to take a risk on it?..... or wants it as a memorabilia item for display with a compatible camera?..... or whatever?

Open to offers; email me. If not, I'll keep it for display.

PS Just dug into my old store cupboard..found:
1.Kc 40 15m date 03/2001 silent (unopened)
2. KC 40 Sound 15m date 03/1981 (opened but not exposed)
3. Agfa Moviechrome 160 15m date Nov/83 (opened but unexposed)

The latter two are from when I traded my Cosina Magicsound 5000 and went over to a Braun Nizo (which I still have). The other just got overlooked when I gave up shooting Super 8.

I'd be interested in the 200' cart.

Sorry James, just disposed of it. There's a gentleman in Slovenia wants these, either still with film in them or empty, and pays a good price.Mine fetched 50 euros plus shipping> Don't know what his end use is , though.

Likely same as mine... You use the sound film, hope it comes out, then re-load them. Sound carts are very immage stable due to the open loop after the gate for the sound head. The 200's reload very nicely for long shooting times...
Cheers,
