Title: 120 film spools needed
Post by: outofcontxt on October 20, 2006, 01:30:29 AM: I need to get my hands on approximately fifty empty 120 film spools for a top secret hush-hush project I'm working on. I'm going to hit my local lab but I think they just toss 'em or recycle them. I've also looked on eBay without success. You'd think it would be there but I guess there's no demand. Anyone have any leads? And if any of you in the States happen to have some lying around, could you send them my way? I'll take whatever you've got and will gladly reimburse you for the stamp. Thanks!

I have a ziplock bag of accumulated 120 spools and no plans for them, but they're at my house in Olympia WA while I'm stuck in Champaign IL for a year. Is that irony or just a regular bummer? Good luck with the mystery project!

I throw out about ten a week. I'm catching up on developing this weekend, so I can hold onto the spools and pop them in the mail.
I should have at least 10 by Sunday.

Let me know

I've always been stuck around Champaign, IL.

I can probably get some from my lab the next time I drop off film. Do you have a time frame that you need them by?
