That woulda been me.....  I found a local (well, 90 miles away local) lab
that could handle long rolls.  They also process motion picture film.  Their
processor could pull the film from the 250 frame magazine directly into the
machine and output dry on the other end.  There are few labs around who can
do this, so I could myself fortunate.  If you don't mind doing long distance
business, I can dig up the name of the company send it to you.  Email me
privately for details please.  I did find a couple pro labs, one in Florida
I recall for sure, who had the capability but refused to do business with me
because I am not a full-time pro with a registered, licensed business.  My
money must be a different color of green for them.......

Home processing is a tougher problem.  Jobo makes a long film reel, very
expensive. Even more than the ususal for Jobo.  And hard to find.  And
discontinued.  Sounds a bit like OM's, huh?  Hanging to dry is impractical -
its best done on the reel.  Then promptly cut and put into negative sheets
and press flat in your favorite large book.

Good luck with the 250 back!
