Another PK-59 question

Send them to Fair Lawn, New Jersey address.

OK, so I was talking to my freind that runs a camera shop yesterday and he gave me 10 PK-59 mailers that had been sitting around for God knows how long. The thing is, they have a map of the US on the back and there is a line bisecting the country, which says "If you live on this side, send it here, other side, there..." and a couple of addresses. I don't think either address is valid anymore, though the mailers should still be useable. So, I need to know:

What's the US address for Kodak that I need to send these to in order to get them processed?

Thanks,
Sam

Dont the mailers have an expiration date?

Not the older ones. I was fortunate to find 3 boxes of old mailers from the early 70's and Kodak has taken all 10 that I have used so far.

I know I've asked this before, but can I put any Ektachrome film in the PK-59 mailers? I know that the mailer says NO, but members on this board have said that they've done this in the past...Anybody done it lately? I want to try both the Ektachrome VNF 125 and 160 G (for Grainy!!) in them.
Thanx-Chris

Did Kodak stop producing the PK-59 mailers? They are not in the B&H site anymore.

You know, Kodak is starting to piss me off. Somebody over there really has their head up their fandango. Let's look at this:

-They are allowing 2nd party distributors to undersell them on their own products. (netphotostore vs. Kodaks shop on line site)

-They don't even have a place in the western hemisphere to process their most popular amature-gauge motion picture stock... they've surrendered practically the entire market to they're biggest compeditor: Fuji.

- I don't know about anybody else, but I've never been able to find PK-59's, splicing tabs, or anything else related to the gauge on their website. And now they're making it even more difficult to get the film developed.

You know, Kodak really talks up what a great stock K-40 is, but in reality, it's a really weird filmstock that is difficult to process and they keep making it more difficult. I wish they would either support their stock, or scrap it altogether and introduce a new, low speed reversal that is just a NORMAL COLOR STOCK.

From now on, I'm shooting B&W... and when I find a way to shoot Fomapan, I'm going to.
