Anyone use larger than 1200' reels? I have no idea what to do with them, metal reels and metal cans, worth anything?

they can be used with extended arms.

Some biggger reels (I think 1400') can also be used at ST-1200 with cover is swung to open. I did this.

What would those metal reels be worth? In metal cans?

I believe they are over 2000' as when I moved the movies over to 1200' reels, I needed two

:-) Not selling the 1200', it's just there for comparison. They were not all that good either, a bit wobbly and noisy

I would almost be interested because I recently got a Beaulieu 708 EL, which I believe takes up to 2300' reels. But I'm sure shipping this reel across the ocean would get expensive?
