[pure-silver] Re: Bulk loading

I think that using only the cleanest-looking cassettes and 
getting the "splice" nice and clean is key to the technique Jerry 
describes. I've tried it and had mixed results -- some scratches, 
but mostly good. Ironically, the last supply of used cassettes I 
got contained relatively few DX-coded ones: those that come from 
single-use cameras aren't DX-coded, and those things are popular!
