In this case I got it cored, but just to show my determination to sell something proper, I actually had to "uncore" each and every reel with my one empty 600ft reel, just to test each reel and make sure it was in prime condition.
That's all I have right now folks, one empty 600ft reel (and 2 200ft reels, 3 200ft standard 8 reels too), and then I re-cored the whole film tightly.
I must say, I was stunned by the color and image quality of this film. I really didn't pay attention to the story, as I was always pointing out to the wife, (much to her chagrin, as she loves this film), Look at those flowers honey, look at ect ect"
We had to do this over a four day period, mind you.
"Fiddle Dee Dee"!

VERY difficult! I un-core it, winding it onto that 600ft reel, view it, then clean it and re-core it, which is why it took some danged long to view the whole film, days actually.
The thing is, I really feel that I have to do that, as, what if one part of the feature has a lab defect and I don't view that reel, and then some unsuspecting buyer gets a defective reel?
I know I wouldn't like it. ![[Frown]](frown.gif)
Does anyone have any freakin reels for cheap? I really need some danged reels!

Oh, I think I see where your going Micheal. I hand rewound it. It didn't take too long to actually do so and I trust that more than using a motorized rewind, as, sometimes, depending on the speed of the rewind, film can be treated in a rather unkind way. Now, this "Wind" print is on polyester, but I once used motorized rewinding on a brand new acetate print from Germany, and it snapped the damned film!

what I use as a "platter" is the middle section of an old Technicolor cartridge "wheel" (I'll call it a wheel). It's that middle section that the film actually sat upon.
I took this and attached it to a 12 by 12 inch half inch thick plank of wood, enameled (by me) and this is what I place the core on and wind or unwind the film on. It is attached like a wheel to the board. I also attached a slight "knob" to the top of the wheel so that way, while I unwind off of it to the 600ft reel, I am able to rewind back onto it and then, very carefully, I re-tape the core, (with non permanent sticking tape, that's important, as you don't want a "gooey" edge on the film from something like, oh, duct tape).
I hope that makes it a little clearer. If not, then I give up.
