Yes, but those are stainless steel reels (I believe Jobo uses the 
Hewes reels, made in the UK). Can't chop them easy, not to mention 
fit them together afterwards.

Sorry, I ment intact 70mm film, I already have a bunch of cartridges.
And you shouldn't buy new either, those prices are insane....on
Usenet (rec.photo.marketplace), Dan Eisenman often sells (single-)
used ones for much less. He might also still have units that have
seen more use, for a few dollars each.
While a new Linhof cartridge is US$35-40....8-))
Just make sure the felt is clean, you don't have to worry so much 
whether the felt seals good, at least not in case of HIE....it never 
sees daylight anyway.
