Hi Colin sorry to hear you`ve had bad lusk with the machine, but worth the effort I`m sure.
Could you maybe get it reconditioned locally or have you probably thought of this.
Just a thought but I have heard Buckingham film services can get somethings sorted others can`t.
Another good place to try is wittners or kinotecknic in germany, especially wittners, they seem to have good conections.
Good luck, have you spoken to kev, he`s the man in our little circle.

Thanks Mark. Yes Kev is with me every step of the way on this one, (probably dreads every phone call). He a been a great help. I have now managed to sort a motor through John White in Middlesex. It is not an original, but a new one that fits fine. It is just a little longer than the original but still fits into the case. The other good thing is that brushes are replacable with this one.
I will have to give Kevin a ring tonight to let him know that I have sorted one of my other problems out, so he can stop looking.
Thanks again [Big Grin]

Hi John
Aall I know at the moment is that it comes from France. As soon as I get the motor, I will have a good look. John did tell me the company name but I have completely forgot what he said. I will ask him next time I speka to him
Cheers [Smile]
