I suppose one should add - 'Tee, Hee!' 'Salot of dosh already, ain't it? Incidentally if you're loosely looking for a cement 9.5 splicer, contact Ken Valentine - I think he's got a couple of Muray ones.

This splicer has just sold for £172.50. For a 9.5 user these splicers are a must but I didnt expect it to go for this much.

£172.50 for a few bits of metal and a roll of sellotape [Big Grin]

Does anyone know if in addition to the CIR/Catozzo were produced other TAPE splicer for 9.5mm? Cir, as we know, it costs too much!
Or, you have some ideas for splicing 9.5mm polyester film, with tape? I tried to do it by manipulating the tape by hand, but not a very accurate method.
Someone has built it alone, but for me it's hard!

Hi Luigi. Back in the 1970's and before the CIR 9-5 was invented I modified one of these little cheap cement splicers to cut 'a but up joint' then made the actual tape join on a table. This is the type up on ebay if it is of help. 401002438287

You will have to do some filing and drilling along with some ingenuity but it is possible to effect a decent tape splice this way. Some of my old 9-5 films have tape splices in them from using this method.

Lee, when you say :"You will have to do some filing and drilling along with some ingenuity", that seems easy. But for someone for me that just seems out of my reach to convert the cement splicer you mentionned into a tape one. [Smile]

There is no real problem in cutting film correctly, the real problem is correctly perforating the finished join.

Thank you, boys, the method with this splicer interests me, but not having it here I don't understand the procedure.
On internet there are a lot of photos and video of this splicer, but I can,t understand how it is the precise cut of 9.5mm. Perhaps put it on the "channel" for 16mm? And I can't how put the tape, since it being a cement splicer.

Sounds as though you need a 9-5 cir so will mean paying..
My idea back then was a compromise and I had much fiddling making a splice.

I'll manage by using, as always, a Ferrania Regular 8, placing the 9,5mm film on it and use "tactically" the cutters on splicer and a pair of scissors for other cut, refine and enlarge the central hole.
Thanks.

A mind for our friends film fans passed away.

Thank you for post. [Smile]

For me there is also the euro/sterling exchange to drive up costs.

For a scotch 9.5mm splicer certainly I would not want to spend 20 Euros, of course, but not also 250. Maybe, something in between of two price...

As you live in Italy you could enquire of C.I.R. in Milan for a cost of their Pathe 9.5mm splicer.
I bought mine a year or so ago direct from them.
