Hey all, do you think it would be possible to adapt a 35mm Cinebug to use it with 16mm? I think there's just one sprocket which could probably be 3d printed. Thoughts?

I've never needed such an accessory as I've found that 16mm library prints repaired in such a way often shrink slightly over time, and the tape does not, thus causing running problems with some 16mm projectors.

For small perforation repairs the good old CIR is a suitable item to use.

Also, I'm not sure if 16mm repair tape is still available.
