Looking for film take-up spool for Zeiss Ikon Taxona

<p>Hi folks,<br>

I just received a Zeiss Ikon Taxona, but only after its arrival did I notice that it lacked a take-up spool. Are these easy to find, and is there anything specific I need to look for with respect to this camera model?<br>

Many thanks in advance,<br>

<p>A quick look at the manual shows a pretty standard looking Contax/Contaflex/Contarex take up spool. If you have one, I'd see if that fits. If it does, it is sometimes cheaper to buy the Zeiss cassettes for bulk loading (which have a useable take up spool) than the spool separately if you want to have one for each camera in your collection.</p>

<p>Hi Andrew,<br>

Thank you for the suggestions.<br>

I do have a Contaflex spool - just tried it, and it seems to work :)<br>

Thanks again!</p>

 

<p>I would bet a Kiev/Contax spool<br>

would fit, too!</p>

<p>Thank you, David :)</p>
