jasonnab, 7 months ago to Toronto

I visited Toronto back in 2017, and as part of my visit stopped by A-1 Electronic Parts on a tip from a friend, looking for some specific retro-PC gear. They had a ton of interesting items, including most notably some IMAX gear and 70mm? trailers. The reel cores that the 70mm prints came on were literally gigantic.

It's also where I got this Ampex reel https://hachyderm.io/@jasonnab/111020526354662074

A giant metal circul with various circles punched through within the metal core. It looks extremely heavy and robust. A 70mm film print is on the center of the core; imposed over the metal reel is the identification sticker of the reel, for "Superman Returns Trailer" english, 185 nW/m, 4/18/2006
