I can get a 200ft can and cut it in half for you. Or a 400ft can and cut a fourth off it. Which reminds me. I actually bought a film the other day, a Warners cartoon....and the seller sent this 200ft Super 8 cartoon on a one hundred foot reel... a standard 8 reel. I expected it since he offered me either no reel....or this. I took this. Print was excellent, but without leaders or tail. It was obvious he had spliced it on a larger reel with other things and didn't have the leaders anymore. Still a good bargain..and a great print. What this has to do with 100ft boxes, I don't know. But I had to tell someone.

The last brand new print I got from Derann showed up about 280 feet on a 200 foot reel. (-about half an inch above the flanges!)

-it was a tense first projection for the first minute or two!

Shorty: I'm seeing what I can do for your reel needs for Wildwood.

Two 400 footers: probably. 600 footers?...we'll see about that.

Nope: My Madagascar showed up on a 400 footer.

This was "Terrier to Wooton"

-railway fun on the Isle of Wight!

Seriously though: can we help Shorty find his box and can?

I used a 300ft reel and blister pack for Madagscar as my first print of this was overspooled on a 200ft reel.

The German Piccalo shorts provide an ideal solution to the 300ft problem with a little artwork intervention to the blister pack case.

Any German Walt Disney Piccalo print will do it.

Yes Jim, that was why I offered the Piccalo films as a viable cheap alternative source of these. I will post an example of what can done with these soon.
