Looking to buy a few 600' empty reels, in good condition, not bend
and 1 600' auto load reel.
New or used I don't care, as long as they are in good condition.

preferably from Europe to save a bit on shipping.

thanks

The Gepes have been my favorites for a long time:

Here they brand new direct from the manufacturer for $15.95 Euros.

Gepe 600 Foot Reels

They also have a distributor in Greece:

www.lasercolour.gr

They are very straight, especially in the larger sizes where it really matters. They come in a storage case which is hardshell, yet still ventilated.

I use these for take-up reels on my machines

thanks a lot for the info steve,
these cost more that I hoped, but I'm sure they worth it.

It's conveninet that they have a greek reseller, but I don't see any reels on their website.
I'l try calling tomorrow.

In the meantime, i'd be happy to also check a cheaper choice [Wink]

Ilia,
I have many 240m, 180m, 120m, 60m, 15m reels. Most are used but in good condition, some are brand new.
You know what to do... [Wink]
