Hi Bill, thanks for the comment.
Regarding
quote:
- using the 50' reel isn't a true core,
Yes, this is just a quick, easy and cheap solution to Dino's problem for his films on core now.
However, if we cut a half side of the 50' reel (it is an easy work), and when film has been spooled to the 50' reel, we can later flip-flap the base (either a used LP or a turntable slip mat) and getting the film out of the reel. So it is no longer on 50' reel.

and getting a spindle adapter for what Dino has pictured at the top of this thread would be necessary.
Where is that?
quote:
the one turntable I have access to in my life has NO torque. It could do this with zero pressure, and the result would NOT be tight. Winbert, that's a belt drive rig, I presume?
They are Technics SL-1200MK2. Not a belt driven turntable.
This turntable is not cheap though, just like our ST-1200 (coincidentally, both share the same series numbers ![[Wink]](wink.gif) ). However, I believe a cheap direct drive motor turntable can be bought from a thrift store for $20.
cheers,

Very impressive Winbert! It made me think of our friends Wallace and Grommit!
Following up from Bill, the set-up would be quite perfect if there was a way to control the tension of the turntable that feeds the film. When I used to make up and break down 35mm prints for a show in the film society that I was involved with, setting the tension on the rewind arm that fed the film, was really crucial in getting the film on core tight enough to be able to handle it, but also not too tight (because that could cause marks on the film). Securing the film on the core with masking tape creates a knot in my belly. Tightening the film on the core by puling it tight makes me even more nervous.... But I think if you can make your set-up a permanent one, you could possibly get it right without any of the above tricks.

Dear Osi,

Wish I could get around to getting that video done as quickly as you have done this! Actually, when I get this done, it won't just be how I core films but also showing off my collection.
it would be really interesting to see your collection, but I don't think that is a priority. However, many of us are very keen to see your set-up for putting films on core. It sounds ike it is even more simple then Winbert's method. You don't have to put a whole feature on cores, just one 600' reel would do nicely.
I counted 18 posts from you since you said that you would do this, so it can't be the case that you don't have any time to spare. I think it would be really good if this topic could be closed and we all move on!
And most importantly, several other collectors would really benefit from learning your trick.

I don't know how electric static may affect the developed picture, apart from attractng dust onto the film.
Electric static will not effect the developed picture. As for attracting dust, some film cleaner has anti-static properties. So that should not be a problem, I guess. More over, the electric static from the Turntable is also too small (plus there is a slip mat there before the platter).
I wrote this in the other forum that super 8mm film collecting is (an almost) gone hobby. We have to use our creativity to reach the result, not only relying on the available tools.
For those who live in big countries must be lucky with abundant sources of film related things, but I live in Indonesia, a developing country with limited sources. If I only think about a split reel (and only a split reel) to wrap film outside the reel, I will never reach that.
Another example, I know splicing film is best to use perforated tape + a splicer or film cement. You know what I am using here... "super glue"!
For me is the final result, not what tools you are using!
