Hi Everyone
I may have stuffed this up. Here is a quick run down on the photo,s Its a clamp on unit I made years ago using an old Raynox projector { transformer, motor, variable speed control etc. ] I used in the old projection box which was only 40 inches long but had plenty of height, hence the position of the front reel. I also used 16mm B/H take up arm. The reels were made of Lexan, The most film I have had on it is about two and a half hours. The biggest surprise I had was that it actualy worked, and worked well Its unlikley it will be used in the future but if I did I will bring the front arm down to the same height as the rear

Holy cow Graham! Looks like you need a step ladder to load up that front reel!

The lexan reels are awesome!

(-maybe from the post-video Renaissance!)
