Yes, I got yesterday as a gift from one older shooter 4 rolls of old unexposured 16 mm movie stocks.
2 pcs. Eastman (Kodak) Color negative II film 7247 (tungsten, 100 ASA), 30 m.
2 pcs. Agfa-Gevaert GEVAPAN (B&W) 30 Reversal 863 stock in 122 meters rolls.
I personally don't know these stocks at all, but I really want to shoot them with Krasnogorsk-2 or 3 or perhaps with Bolex H16 model (I could use all of these ones), I think the result will be "interesting"!
I hope some of you older guys could know these stocks and help me forward, so all information especially of that Gevapan-one is wellcome and also tips where I could get them developed here in Europe?
Thanks!
BTW. I have here also about 10 pcs. of Kodachrome 25 stock for double 8 mm format (also old ones). I also get yesterday very nice rolling Minolta zoom 8 (that battery powered version) and I want to shoot these rolls with Minolta during next Summer.
Do Kodak still develop these K25 stock (double 8 ) at Lausanne, even they discontinue producing this great film stock?
Need some help with couple old unexposured 16/8 mm stocks

Not sure about the colour film. If it can be processed with C41, the current set up there should not be a problem.
As for the Black and White. Suggest you run a couple of feet through the camera and process as a negative with a standard developer such as D76. If it does not have the anti-halation backing this will give some idea of its state. Give it about 10 minutes at 20 celcius as a start point.
I think Kodak will still process K25, I think it just went through the same machines as all the other Kodachrome.

The 7247 colour negative can be processed anywhere they do 16mm color negative, it uses the same process as they all do. However, unless it has been stored in a freezer or at least a refrigerator, then you probably will not get much useable footage. Color and speed deteriorate rapidly if not stored under optimum conditions. The Agfa Gevapan reversal should be outstanding if it has been stored in a cool place. B+W reversal stands up pretty well over time. Another of the missed stocks no longer produced. I would personally shoot a small test roll of minimum length to check each roll for useability. Talk to your lab to see how much they need to do a test. Some can do a test on ten feet or so.
The Minolta R-8mm is very nice. If the Kodachrome is still good, you are in for some good filming. Good luck.
