Author Topic: new TES reels? Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA. USA (1774.21 miles northeast of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 10-17-2003 05:27 PM                        I got a print of "Veronica Guerin" recently (new, never run) which came from TES on reels which are similar to those that some ETS prints (esp. Warner Bros. and 20th Century Fox) have shipped on lately. These are the clip together type which have two tabs (one on each flange) which hold the reel together. The TES version is orange and says "Technicolor" on each flange. Has anyone else seen these? Will TES be using more of these in the future? If so, it's a big step up from their previous attempts at reels, although one out of the six (all brand-new) still arrived broken.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 10-17-2003 06:06 PM                     yo THREAD CLOSED  |  IP: Logged Daryl C.

He is marveling at the reels too much.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 10-17-2003 06:15 PM                        Marvelling at TES reels does take an enormous amount of time, so perhaps you should go a little easy on the guy. After all these aren't normal reels, they're TES reels.  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.
