Kodak Disks

[Kilgallb]

A friend of mine at work was cleaning out his Grandma's house and came upon a bunch of Kodak disk cameras mostly with half the film exposed. He thinks they were from a wedding. Does anyone know where I can get them developed. I think the film is over twenty years old and could be very precious to the family.

I remember seeing a thread on this some time ago about outfits that do this old film work. I would appreciate some suggestions.

I would go with Dwane's... https://www.dwaynesphoto.com/newsite2006/disc-126-film.html
There are places like Film Rescue and Rocky Mountain who specialize specifically in old, expired film, but they're orders of magnitude more expensive.

Basically you can develop them yourself. Make a holder for your tank that handles the film like ordinary sheet film.

What is a fender washer?

A fender washer is a washer with a large outside diameter compared to the hole. Here's one example

Just finished a job developing and printing 20 Kodak Discs. To make developing easier, I used a 5/16" x 3" stainless bolt, a stainless fender washer and two stainless nuts. Drop the washer on the bolt and use a nut run down all the way to make the stand. Place up to 8 disk films on the bolt then snug the second nut against the disks. Drop this assembly into a steel Nikkor or Kindermann tank and process normal C41.

Nice!

If you want to, find your nearest aviation parts department and look for an AN970C-series washer. It's stainless steel; you can find stainless bolts and nuts as well, though that does seem a lot of effort for Kodak discs, as this set is likely the only ones you will ever see.
