Thank you for the comment, that explains a lot. I have been in the dark for
some time now as to why nobody would process the film, I got the film back in
the 80's as a promotion from MSI out of Portland OR. It is film # (5293) and
I couldn't find it anywhere either on-line but that is what is printed on the
cannister..
Thanks again for your response....Dan

What you've got is movie stock spooled for 35 mm cameras. Seattle
Filmworks and others used to sell it and process it, but they all went
to C41 eventually. I'm not sure any commerical lab will touch it now
because it gunks up their processing. Try Dale, they might still have a
service for it, but because no one's selling the stuff for 35mm
anymore, I don't know that they'd process it. It is a film meant for
35mm movies, which are shot as negatives and then printed on film for
release, so they sold it as a film that gave you negatives and slides
(they printed it on film to give you the slide, the same as it was
printed to make a release 35mm movie). If Dale can't help, and if the
successor to Seattle Filmworks can't help, your last resort would be
Rocky Mountain Film Labs. They process it at great cost, but I didn't
see 5293 listed, only 5294 and 5296. Hopefully that's what you have and
you mistyped the number. Anyway, they are worth a try:
