sorry to ask.. around $50-$70 for a spool on ebay.. is that reasonable? is there a 'cheaper' alternative?

I'm not sure, I think it is expensive. Finding a significantly cheaper option could take time.
BTW, I think There are two types, one solid, the other where the "plug" is mobile. I don't know if they are interchangeable (I'll have a look when I'm home)

My IIIf RD has the stationary plug, so I think you should be fine with that. The ones I've seen recently on ebay are of the collapsible style (which my M3 has). These seem to cost more. Also, you might be able to find one for a Zorki that would work (and maybe cheaper). My Zorki 1e's spool works in my IIIf RD.

i just tried it, but it seems too long...

i have one for sale: $35 pp'd and shipped. it's in the <$100 ads. let me know if you're interested. the M-series spool will not work, afaik.
