But you are in luck because the vice-president of Xetron/Nuemade posts here and would be glad to help out. Call (203) 270-1100.  |  IP: Logged Tom Fermanian Expert Film Handler Posts: 101 From: Sainte Adele, Quebec, Canada Registered: Dec 2001 posted 12-30-2001 09:47 PM                     Thanks Mr. Walsh, Looking forward to replys, Yeah I know that this system is on the older side, bur reel to reel is still favourable in some situations, and transport for films between our small circuit is greatly facilitated, we still feel that the 'large reel ' film shipment that was supposed to be implemented a few years back was abandoned too quickly! thanks Tom ------------------  |  IP: Logged Tom Fermanian Expert Film Handler Posts: 101 From: Sainte Adele, Quebec, Canada Registered: Dec 2001 posted 01-02-2002 08:58 AM                     Whew!
