Default Bulk Loader

Hi All,

I have a couple of bulk loaders (Computrol and Watson 100) and half a dozen old metal reuseable 35mm cassettes (or at least I think they are!). Loaders seem to be fine, no cracks or holes. Cassettes could maybe do with a clean.

I have had them for ages, and have never used them, but with budgets getting tighter, maybe it's time to rethink. Round about £40 for 17m of FP4 seems the average price. I guess 17m would give about 10 x 36 exp films (about £50 worth so a saving of £10 ish).

My questions are
Is my estimate of 10 x 36 exp rolls about right ?
Is there anyway to see if the loader and cassettes are light tight before putting film in ?
Is it easy or am I likely to right off £40

Opinions and comments most welcome

Ian
