I have been watching this post for years and it's finally where it should be, modding of the wolverine base model.
I too am weary of the artifacting and haven't yet bought one, i have been waiting for someone to overcome this issue, and i think you guys are very close.
If you get all the bugs worked out, i would be more than willing to buy a kit or assembled mechanism for sure.
I read a few pages back something about mjpeg format which my blackmagic intensity video capture card uses, i was thinking maybe there was a way to mod the moviemaker to get a 3.5mm jack or RCA to transmit to a capture card which would make an MJPEG video that could be edited, i was going to do that with the 20mp F2D but that would have literally taken forever... Maybe using the moviemaker to passthrough and mechanize the F2D which has a 3.5mm video out jack for tv viewing is a solution... pump it to a capture card instead of a tv using the F2Ds 20mp video camera...
Keep up the good work. [ July 01, 2019, 01:19 AM: Message edited by: Ian McAfee ]

I have to say Gents, the work you are undertaking between you is truly amazing.
I did wonder for a while if it was worth modding the wolverine, going to all that trouble to try and make the best of what is a pretty poor film transport system to create a system of capture to beat the factory rubbish.
I am truly impressed with what is slowly coming together and send you rapturous applause for the work you are all doing.
Talk of Stan not making a sutiable take up assembly? Even if you did, I would not use it, I actually prefer to let the film snake in to coils in a large plastic tub.
Keep up the amazing work, really quite something, coming together. Thank You too for the time it takes to upload evidence of progress, in the way of notes, stills and movie clips.
In other news, I just scanned 11 50ft reels for a friend, for free and it came out as per usual, grainy, but steady, by NOT using the pathetic wolverine take up and instead, relying on my fancy pants plastic box.
BZ!
