Sold Nikor 12-sheet reel for 4x5 tank - usable but needs TLC

[Steve Goldstein]

For sale is a reel for a Nikor 4x5 film developing tank that needs some help. The top-plate screws are missing, as is one spiral from the top plate. One end of one spiral on the bottom has come loose, as has one of the vertical support rods around the frame. If you replace the stainless screws it'll be usable as-is for fewer than 12 sheets, a big rubber band around the outside works just fine to retain the film. Repair should be straightforward for anyone who can cut and do small tack welds on stainless steel. I've never bothered my machinist friend about it because I don't want to use up favors repairing things I don't really need. Asking $25, little more than the cost of shipping, via PayPal goods and services shipped in the US.
