    Thanks for the info. I'll be following up next week, as I'm off to a screenwriting workshop for the weekend.

    Not to be a jerk, but those reels are probably the flimsiest reels known to man. I would try to find some second-hand metal ones or the old Kodak "smoked" hard plastic types.

    Yeah, I've bought a bazillion Super 8 reels, and the best ones are the old Kodak ones.
    I keep looking for them, and they're hard to find.
    If anyone knows where I can get more, I'd appreciate it.

    In my opinion, the metal ones are horrible though.
    They scrape the film as they go through the metal.
    I'm not saying it ruins the film, but it can't be good, and the noise bugs the crap out of me.

    I think it depends on the metal -- the ones that are bent or rusty of course, can't be good. But I have a few in perfect condition and they haven't damaged the film.
    But, I agree, the old Kodak hard, smoked plastic kind were the best.
