Spooling 50 foot cores for little mags.

Perhaps the local camera repair shop would make me a winder that fits into a 50 ft. core. However, it would be easier to buy one from the old days. Anyone have one?

Yea, that was me. "Use what you got" but don't stop working.

A Phillips head screwdriver works on the cores. The shaft holding the core must be shorter than the one in a film magazine. Many things fit.

A series 6 lens filter case, the bottom, fits a full 50 ft core of film exactly; use it for loading so you stop at exactly 50 feet.

A magazine for 400 foot core film makes a good film feed for winding the little cores in a bag. Wrap each new core in black paper.

"I'm getting closer to my goal," tra la la.
