One needs to check the perforation markings on old outdated
Kodachrome to determine if it can be processed (at Dwayne's)

The can and will process KM and KMA

They cannot and will not process : KII, KAII, K40, VNF 1, EM25,
MC40, or FOCAL

I am not sure anyone else even processes these older stocks except
maybe for the rare and exceptional archive processing at great expense.

The cut off date is somewhere in the 70s but you need to look at the
ID markings on the film stock itself to be sure.

Even if they can process the film, there is no guaranty of quality if
its old film. Old film tends toward washed out and pink after
processing.
