I am very big on sustainability, re-using or re-purposing equipment and accessories (no matter how old it is) because a LOT of EE (Embedded Energy) was used to originally create these items from our past and to throw something like this away, poison our surroundings etc is just so irresponsible of the human race - one day, all this waste will come back to "bite us".
HISTORY:
My "world" is 'the arts' and more specifically, music, artwork and hand crafted/decorated chinaware's.
I am not a film enthusiast but an associate has asked me to find new owners for THEIR large collection of photographic and film items ... this is one of those items.
While the world of 8mm/Super 8mm is not my area of expertise, I am doing my best to establish the condition of each item that I am listing.
I tend to be quite detailed in my item descriptions, please READ all the details to decide if this item may interest you.
Now, on with the description ...
ELMO - 8mm/Super 8 Film Reel
EMPTY
Diameter: 10.5 Inch
Colour: Light Grey
Stamped into the plastic material
E L M O
NAGOYA JAPAN
COSMETIC CONDITION:
USED
CLEAN (in fact it has been sterilised with a fine mist of Iso Alcohol)
Barely any marks although there are some "scuff" marks
NO personal writing or content labelling anywhere on the reel
NO reel frame damage - no cracks or missing pieces
Looking at the reel, it appears (to my eyes) straight and true - not bent or misformed.
I have now placed this ELMO film reel sealed clear plastic to preserve the current condition for a new owner. While not boxed, I will send it well protected.
