Well, I've just experienced a severe case of GAS and got myself a Baby Rollei. I've read that these cameras don't like plastic spools so does anyone know where I can obtain a stash of metals spools here in the UK?

Spools as in spools for developing tanks? I suspect I've misunderstood, but if not I can say that I saw several 127 stainless steel tanks with stainless steel spools in Mr CAD.

Spools as in film spools that the film wrapped around, and also used to accept the film "take up" spool in a 127 camera.

All Paterson adjustable spirals can take 127 film. (Not 100% sure about the very latest as I've had no reason to try).

Ian,

you're correct. I'm after the metal 127 film spools that go in the camera as I've read that the Baby Rollei doesn't like the plastic versions.
