Hi everyone. I've just bought some FilmGuard from Paul Foster and am looking to clean up a few of my old prints - especially the Thief of Baghdad, which needs a bit of TLC (!) - but I'm thinking, having read some of the forum comments, that a pair of rewind arms for Super 8mm might help me enormously. Any ideas as to how I might find a pair?
Thanks

Elmo made some 8mm rewinds but I use a normal Editor. Lets face it all editors have rewind arms attached. The Motorised Stereo Goko which I use can take 1200ft spools which again is useful.

GS1200 Xenon with Elmo 1.0...great combo along with a 16-CL Xenon for that super bright white light.

Hi Jason.Welcome to the Forum. You could try Classisc Home Cinema in Cleethorpes. He advertises arms on his listings. Telephone number is 01472 291934 and speak to Phil or Denise.Or try Paul Foster, he sometimes has them in stock.
Regards Keith

Welcome to the forum. A good pair of rewinds are essential I have been using Shinko "Made in Japan" for over 20yrs will do both Super8 and 16mm "2200ft reels", and easly clamp onto a bench eg kitchen table, I use them for all my rewinding, making up films, cleaning etc.

Regards Graham.

I would certainly endorse the Elmo's. I like the idea that I can set them up quickly and easily wherever I need them. That said, I have been told you can collect 3 points on your licence if you use them whilst driving. [Big Grin]

Wonderful advice, thank you everyone. I came across this forum by happy accident, having spent the last few years building a collection and buying the kit I needed to do it well. My love of all things cinema stems from my childhood, when I went to the barracks Saturday matinee (Dad was in the Army) every week and the sergeant who ran it used to let me into the projection cabin and help him change reels and such like. I remember the projector as being massive, probably a 35mm, but loved the whole experience. Nothing beats the lovely clicks and purrs of a projector in use! Thank you all for your guidance.

Peter, those rewind arms are very good quality ones with them having a built in torque application for even film rewinding. Anyone buying them should have a pair that will last a lifetime.

I am not the seller, but the person selling them is a very nice chap indeed and 100% trustworthy.

Sorry, forgot to say welcome to the forum Jason.

It was interesting to hear about your memories of the Saturday Matinee at the army barracks, I grew up in a village next to an RAF camp and my mates and I made good use of the facilities [Wink]

[Wink]

.

There was a large hut that was used for all kinds of events, discos, the scouts, thrift shop and of course the Saturday cinema, it had a makeshift projection box with a 16mm projector in it. It was always locked when it wasn't a cinema day but I used to peer in through the perspex screen and marvel at the machinery. When I went to the films, much as now I found myself spending as much time watching the projecetor as I did the screen! [Roll Eyes]

Thanks, Peter. You did indeed. I was going to use my editor, but when I saw Kevin was selling the thing I had thought I wanted, I decided to just take the plunge. Now I've got to explain to my wife where the big MDF board with two arms has come from!!!
