Hello James
I have the motor speed resistance and brown bakelite knob. If you are interested I will work out postage cost.

Hello James
I can't help with the lens but best that you let me know what parts you are looking for. Bear in mind that postage will probably be high.

Hi Terri:
I managed to complete the halogen lamp conversion 120V 300W, and in the process managed to get the speed control working again.

Now having some transport problems, losing upper loop and have to study this before I know what exactly I need. Mine is a hybrid machine, 8mm pulldown with 16mm wide gate, 8mm widescreen known as UltraPan8. Thanks for offering to supply parts. Much appreciated. I need to project one of my films with this in January at a festival here in Toronto. Will let you know.

Hi Terri:
No need for the knob and speed control now but I could clearly use:
- 1 rewind lever and shaft
- 2 sets of upper and lower 16mm sprocket cradles with bolts, nuts, screws etc.

Sorry James can't help with the sprockets and cradles as mine is 8mm. I do have the rewind lever though. Shouldn't be much to send that in a jiffy bag. I'm away for a couple of days so will contact you on my return.

My guess that the postage would not be much were a little optomistic. For the part and postage by Airsure is £15. Seems a lot for a small part. You might be better to look more locally but if you still want it PM me with your postal address

Hi Terry:
Thank you kindly; you're right. I'll let you know.

Think I'll post for the 16mm Specto sprocket cradles. The 8mm rollers are scratching my 16mm film. Don't need the sprockets though.
Best wishes for the holidays!!
Press on!
Cheers, James
