Default Wanted.... 122 size spiral or apron

I realise I have very little chance of finding these, but I'm after a spiral or one of the corex type apron things to hold 3 1/4 roll film such as 118 and 122.
I'm prepared to develop in a tray in the traditional manner, but I believe various types of holders were made 'in the day' so would like to try and find one.
Does anyone have anything suitable they'd like to sell?

Don't know if this is what you're looking for but there's a Correx tank for sale at the (in)famous Rocky Cameras for £15.

http://www.rockycameras.com/leica-co...99-17671-p.asp

He doesn't say but I'd imagine the tank is "optically perfect" even though there's no glass in it. You have to be an ex-customer or as least a visitor to Rocky's site to get that wee joke..,

Ah, Rocky... Yes been there.

Sadly that's a 35mm tank. I think they did a 122 size one too which is what I'm after. It seems there was also a steel spiral made by nikon but it's hard to come by.

Can you say a bit more about the spiral you need? I've got a couple of old tanks but don't quite know if I have anything that would work.

Firstcall-photographic do a 35mm 'lasagne film developing apron' which I've used with a load of school kids before and they were great to use!

I'm thinking that your film is slightly bigger but don't see any reason why it shouldn't work?

The biggest commonly available spiral is the old paterson universal which will do for 70mm but ones that fit 3 1/4 inch seem to be a bit thin on the ground. The only reference I have found is to the nikon steel one - not sure if Hewes did one - and the correx apron. The lasagne for 35mm is the sort of thing but it would be too small and leave marks on the film I'd of thought.
