Has anyone already ordered a 360 m spool and know the answer to my question ?

[Michael Beyer]

I did not order such a spool, but the diameter is 31 cm. So it will fit on 360m-Projectors like Elmo ST-1200 or the Revue Lux 80 Stereo.
31 cm is the diameter of "normal" 360m-Spools. With the reduced core from 12 cm (Elmo-Spools) to whatever, it can fit more meters.

Thanks, Michael.

Hello Edwin,

- Are new reels showing a "white" or "black" aluminium oxyd (anodization) finish as well ?
- Do you manage soften cuts on rims and more particularly on outside diameter (rounded periphery edge, like Beaulieu reels for exemple) ?

Thanks

[Edwin van Eck]

I have released a new reel for the Beaulieu 708 / Fumeo super8 projectors today. See this topic: https://8mmforum.film-tech.com/vbb/f...age2#post37632

These are the large reels in our standard assortment today:



For actual prices, see: https://shop.van-eck.net/film-supplies/8mm-reels/p-1a/


This covers currently a lot of the popular projectors, like the Bauer T500/T600 series, Beaulieu 708, Elmo GS-1200, Fumeo, etc.

But I can imagine, that there our other sizes required, e.g. for other projectors, or long play units. If so, and you want to seriously order, please let me know.

The reels I make are treated, so no sharp edges, but not as round as for example some of the original Elmo big reels. Currently not anodized, but if required and willing to pay premium, this can be done of course.

Everything is possible, but has a price tag, especially with small series as today.

I hope to be able to serve the film community for a long time :-)
