Not the right size reel
By Kenneth
Rated 3 out of 5
Date: 2025-06-30
Although the reels I received are fine , they are not the size I thought I ordered. I wanted the 7 inch reels which it turns out are 400'. I am not that familiarwith the sizes / lengths of the different reels but thought I was ordering the larger reels. Now I'm stuck with 2 reels I have not use for. Better documentation of the product eould be helpful.

I'll keep it, but I had the impression I was getting the 7 reel I needed. It would be helpful if the diameter of the reel were included in the description.

question
Is this for regular (standar) 8mm or Super 8mm?
It will work for both. There is an adapter sleeve included of the center that converts from Super8 to 8mm when installed.

question
do you sell empty spools for standard 8mm film?
Please of the formatting of this website I can't put a link but if you have a regular 8mm camera and need a take up spool for the camera I would just buy a roll of black and white and dump the film from that roll. If you have a super 8 camera you do not need a take up reel in the camera. Have fun

question
How do I get film with movies already on the film to watch on my projector
I purchase films on eBay, at antique stores and sometimes auctions. Estate sales are best as many antique dealers don't bother selling films. Castle Films are commercial releases that are very common, but most are silent. If your projector is equipped to play sound, it may be more difficult to find sound films in 8mm.
