Hi everyone,
I hope you all had a superb Christmas, and are looking forward to a happy and prosperous New Year.
I'll come straight to the point.
I have 2 x 16-CL machines, one is a US model with a 3-bladed shutter, the other is a European/UK model with the 2-bladed shutter.
I have many silent 16mm films which require to be run at various different speeds and thanks to Richard Patchett, I now have sufficient motor pulleys to be able to do this.
However, the 2-bladed shutter results (as I'm sure you can imagine) in very pronounced and irritating flicker at any speed slower than 24fps.
Therefore, in order to have complete flexibility between both machines, I am looking for a 3-bladed shutter for the current 2-bladed machine.
NOW - here's the thing! If anyone wants to swap their 3-bladed shutter for a 2-bladed one - there have been lots of posts on this subject - I would be more than happy to oblige. Otherwise I'd be happy to purchase one - are you reading this Richard?
Just as an aside, the Ampro projectors, with their 2-bladed cylindrical shutters, exhibit far less flicker than the Elmo projectors. Can anyone comment?
Best regards to all,

Valves and celluloid - a great combination! Early technology rules OK!
