You can check their used inventory at: http://www.wallstreetcamera.com/cgi-bin/wsc-search.cgi The original kit comes with the special spool, a male piece that attaches to the base plate to guide the film home, instructions, and a sticker for the camera to illustrate how to load (like the engraving in the M4 and up). Any used kit will not have the sticker or instructions but a dimwit such as I was able to figure it out fairly quickly. In the M2 it really speeds things up, almost as fast as the quick load M4 and up cameras, and is very resistant to misloading. M3 people who have tried it do not think it much of an improvement as they still have to lift the spool up (down?) to reset the film counter.
