Blue film spool for Exakta Varex, VX 1000, IIa, IIb

• Replacement for the missing take-up spool: Many used Exakta bodies come without a spool — without it, the shutter remains silent and the film unexposed.
• Clear color coding: Blue stands for the Varex series and prevents confusion with the technically different Exa spools (color code green).
• Clean film transport: The spool grips the film and prevents tearing during winding.

Description

The Exakta Varex is a legend in camera technology — but when buying a used body, one small but crucial part is often missing: the film spool. We know this problem from our own experience and therefore manufacture the replacement ourselves.

To prevent the spool from being confused with the similar-looking but technically different spools of the Exa series (color code green), we produce it directly in blue — making identification in the camera bag clear. The newly manufactured material is robust and durable, not brittle old plastic. This way, the showcase camera becomes a working tool again.
