I am looking for a source of 35mm plastic film cores that are 5" diameter
FPC' site only has 2 and 3" listed (funny I have seen 4" kodak cores)
If any one has a manufacturer source I would appreciate it

Gordon, We carry the 5" plastic cores for 35mm film.
Pricing varies per amount ordered. Advise how may you require and I will send you a quote.

How about a source for the 4" cores (like the ones used with ETS and Technicolor reels) with the drive-pin holes. Preferably at non-outrageous prices. I can get lots of 2" and 3" cores of the type used for camera stock or lab stock for nearly free from film labs, but I'd prefer to store film on the 4" cores. I am unwilling to pay $2 apiece for them, however.

Maybe Technicolor would tell you who their vendor is for the 4-inch cores.BTW, standard SMPTE 37M specifies 35mm core dimensions.
