I just picked up a set of S8mm adapters this weekend from Neil Research Labs. I opted for the top of the line brass adapters over the mid-grade aluminum or econo hard plastic....to make it short, the quality is as good as the Film-O-Clean. Unlike the Neumade adapters, these fit ALL reels I tried them on. If you have the Neumades you know what I mean...Newmades have to be punched out of certain reels such as the Elmo auto-reel because they are made too large to begin with.
Neil Research Labs adapters have a wider base, set screw, registry pin (guess that is what you call it), AND a screw on locking hub. Sometimes I "cheat" when re-winding S8mm and use a 16mm projector as a power winder instead of going out and using my power winder Since these have the screw on hubs, I can now "cheat" and find a use for my 16mm Bell & Howell 2585 that just collects dust.
