I've got a Weberling striper for 110V, complete with electrical cord, a very good rubber belt, and an adhesive reservoir & wick that appear to be unused. The drive sprocket is for Super 8. Film that I striped more than thirty years ago with an identical machine still plays fine. If interested, send me a PM.

Hi Glenn,

Yes I would be very interested in purchasing it, I sent you an email on the 8mm forum. Did you get it? Or did I send it incorrectly? I hope to hear from you soon.

Finally managed to buy a standard and super 8 sound striping machine to put audio in my movies to my mono Euming, my doubt now is:
which of the two tapes is the correct to place mono audio in super 8mm?
I have also to buy a bottle of glue?
Any help of the gurus sound is welcome.

These are the tapes that Wittner Cinetec sells:

This is my machine that arrives soon:

It's the 0.8mm stripe you'll need; the 0.45mm material is for the balance stripe.

I'm unfamiliar with the Supersound machine, having used only Weberling stripers, but I expect the same techniques apply. I've always spliced my films with the Bolex beveled-edge cement splicers so there's no bump at the splice and, consequently, no blip in the soundtrack. The film should be clean. I've made sure there's sufficient leader so I've got time to adjust the alignment of the stripe on the film. The cement should be reasonably fresh. When I began, I just followed the instructions supplied with the striper and never had a problem. Have fun!

Glen, did you ever sell your striping machine to the original poster?
I am somewhat interested if it is still available.

Yes, I did sell the Weberling machine. I've got two more, but I'm reluctant to part with either one. Weberling striping machines (usually the DS 240) appear regularly at eBay in Europe, but they're invariably for 220V/50Hz. They're much less common in the U.S.A. Still, if you're patient, I'm sure one will turn up.

Thanks again,
There is some alignment to do when puting the tape and glue? where places the glue? in some kind of cushion for this purpose, there is only once or have to go puting the glue?
Sorry all these issues but must be made to the gurus of striping. [Smile]

Jorge

In the Weberling striper, the cement is held in a plastic reservoir inside the housing and fed by a cloth wick through a hollow tube that penetrates the face of the machine. The magnetic stripe is pulled through a channel cut in this tube and exposed to the adhesive-soaked wick. The stripe is then guided onto the film by a grooved spindle that moves in and out to provide proper alignment of the stripe and the film.

Thanks Glenn, I have read on some forums the best splice film for than stripped sound is the cement splice, but there are another opinions and can be done with the tape splices on film, since I have my film ready to striped sound tape but spliced with tape splice, I wonder in your opinion what is the best splice to not undermine the work? Cement or tape splice? I have time to change the tape splices for cement splice if is the best way.
