My grandfather died over 30 years ago and I have a cart of film from his Super 8 camera. I'm sorta curious to process it and see what's in it. Who still processes EM-26?
It might be a complete waste of money or there might be something interesting in there. I guess I'll only know if I try to develop it.
Thanks.

Re: Process EM-26
By the way, on the cart it says:
E160
P
7257
Kodak Ektachrome 160 Movie Film Type A
V57621 K30753
4639
Would these help me figure out which country he bought the cartridge at?
Thanks.

Your best bet is Martin Baumgarten in Plattsburgh New York. He was under Plattsburgh Photo. Don't get your hopes too high. Age fog has probably wiped out any image.

Or www.super8.nl if you're in Europe.
-- Or Film Rescue International for world wide service of expired films (they're located in North America/Canada I think. (google them)

Re: Process EM-26
As far as I can tell, EM-26 is very similar (if not identical) to E6 with the addition of a step whereby the remjet (removable jet-black antihalation) layer is removed. This would gunk up a regular E6 processing lab.
I've done Ektachrome 160 super 8 in E6 chemistry myself with professional results.
So it shouldn't be too difficult for any of the cottage industries processing amateur cine film to handle it but it might cost a premium over standard E6 processing.
