I shot a bunch of this for TV news back in the '70s. We all took turns processing the film. I don't think there was any rem jet on the film. All of the steps were purely chemical. I think the rem jet has to be removed mechanically. E6 is a different process so the colors might not come out correctly but it should work. VNF can handle the high temps that E6 uses. Mike

Interesting discussion though we've gone beyond the OP's question. Kodak's page http://motion.kodak.com/US/en/motion/About/Chronology_Of_Film/1960-1979/default.htm has a lot of information on various emulsions. They show a Kodachrome print stock that was made until 1981. By the time I started using ECO in 1979 I was told that prints from that stock were no longer available. They also list a 7390 high contrast print stock for 7252. I wish I had some prints so I could see what our labs were actually using. ECO scans beautifully. It would be a nice Super-8 stock if it was still made.

There was definitely Ektachrome print stock. We shot a lot of ECO—7252. The lab struck reversal work print from each camera roll. My recollection was that short release print runs were made directly from the A-B original while beyond a certain number of prints it was more economical to print from an internegative. There was never a problem with print contrast with either method since ECO was a low contrast original. We had some older Kodachrome prints around, typically "master prints". These were great for transfers in later years.

HC110 should work as well as anything for B&W.

We used to do short tests on ECO in B&W chemistry to evaluate lenses etc. Do a clip test to dial in your development time. It might be interesting to try E6 or C41 at room temperature with extended development time. Mike

Eclair NPR mags are marked for emulsion-in or emulsion-out. Of course only emulsion-in camera stock is currently sold.
