Anyone knows the number of reels on this? I bought the Standard 8 version in Blackpool. The reels were mixed up a bit and it was 5 reels. Finally got them sorted, but the last reel was Super 8. Is it only 4 reels of 400'? Or am I missing something?

Thanks

Yes, I do got duplicte reel 2 (although they are not exactly starting at the same position). Thanks, then the Super 8 is a spare for now (looked much better than my Regular 8, much brighter)
