For Sale 70mm film developing tank and reels

[OrientPoint]

Here are a couple of 70mm developing tanks, with reels, to sell:

1. Nikkor metal tank with three large (15ft capacity) 70mm steel reels. Asking $250 + shipping or best offer.
2. Plastic Besseler Color tank with three large plastic 70mm reels. I'm not sure if there are 13ft or 15ft capacity reels. I've never put more than 5 ft through each reel in one go. Asking $150 + shipping or best offer.

Ships from New York.

For the uninitiated, how does one expose more than a 5 feet of uncut 70mm at one go? 220 film is ... 144cm? just shy of 5ft? Are we processing test strips off an IMAX camera? Shooting targets out of a B-17?

Standard 70mm canisters used in backs for Hasselblad, Mamiya RB, Rollei 6000, etc. take 15 foot loads.
