I have recently changed leaders on almost all of my reels of film. Rather than discard, it is available for anyone interested.
Various lengths of Neumade Fiesta white and black leader. There is more white than black. The black pieces average 2 ft in length, the white 4 ft in length.
This film is free for the asking, please play postage.
I find threading to be more reliable with standard polyester or mylar than the acetate. I am not sure why this is. It seems that in my very tiny booth, autoloading normally works. But when I kick start the machine in to forward mode, plyester leaders are smooth and get right going. But this plastic leader from Neumade often chatters and loose the loops. Although it usually will correct on it's own through my st 1200 machines.
I would like to make it known these strips are in good condition with no broken sprockets.

Hi Ray
Thank you for offering the super 8 film. I would prefer something in sound super 8 only please. I can run standard 8mm but do not collect it - just not interested.
Depending on the trade, we could wave shipping costs - what I mean is you do not have to pay me for shipping costs - your offer for a super 8 sound film would be in exchange. I suspect this would be a value of around $10.00 or less.
Upon mutual agreement, I will give a green light to your offer.
It should be understood the leaders will be loose in a box and not on a reel. So be prepared to do some sorting when you open it.
