There's only one slight problem:
The last processing facility that would run 120 Kodachrome was in
Switzerland, and that facility stopped processing the film several years
ago.  Dwayne's will not process 120 Kodachrome, just 35mm film and movie
film.

So, at best the ten rolls are good for shelf display.
