Pricing varies per amount ordered. Advise how may you require and I will send you a quote.  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA. USA (1774.21 miles northeast of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-21-2001 06:52 PM                        How about a source for the 4" cores (like the ones used with ETS and Technicolor reels) with the drive-pin holes. Preferably at non-outrageous prices. I can get lots of 2" and 3" cores of the type used for camera stock or lab stock for nearly free from film labs, but I'd prefer to store film on the 4" cores. I am unwilling to pay $2 apiece for them, however.  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 05-21-2001 09:33 PM                        Maybe Technicolor would tell you who their vendor is for the 4-inch cores. BTW, standard SMPTE 37M specifies 35mm core dimensions. ------------------ John P.
