Hi chaps,

Has anybody used the Film-O-Clean with the flexible handles such as are on the Sankyo machines?

Michael,

If by flexible you're reffering to the folding hinged handles similar to those found on the Bauer, then take a look at the last two photos in my review. FOC clamps onto the handle solidly and the support arm keeps the handle upright.

Doug,
Yes I saw those pics - that's not the type I mean. The Sankyo has the plastic handle that retracts flat onto the top of the projector.

Mike,

Sorry I misunderstood. Surprisingly, I've never owned a Sankyo.

No problem, Doug [Smile]

I'm presuming there must be other models beside Sankyo which have similar handles.
Maybe someone will chime in.

This is great. I just came off the original "Anyone want a film cleaner" thread to find and read the above review by Douglas - great insight.
New to the forums, I introduced myself in the "Old Cameras and Projectors" thread last week. It's so good to link up with people that share a passion for projected film and it's natural that we would immediately recognized the critical importance of device Roy has made available.
I'm so glad I found the 8mm forum.

I've been trying to buy a new one of these for over a year with no luck.
If anyone wants to sell me a 2nd hand one, please bounce me an email! I'd love to be able to use a wet-gate for my transfers.

I'm also interested in the recommended way to hand-clean a film if someone can point me to some relevant threads/info.
Thanks for the highly detailed review DM!
