I looked at my latest post, and I noticed just how often I post on this wonderful thing called the forum.

I am quite chatty, and if so, I apologize.

I certainly love the gift of verbosity, but I would hate to have folks potentially resentful at the always posting yank!

I can say one thing for sure, I have learned an incredible wealth of info about Super 8, far more than I ever knew when I originally collected super 8 back in the late eighties and it's due to the likes of John Whittle, the Faulkner, the Doug-meister, as well as so many other. I can't speak for others, but I could just imagine all of us getting together in one room and just going on an on about our collections and experiences with film.

If Joe Caruso is successful in his possible preparations for an american Super8palooza, I would love sitting down, popping a few brewski's, (I prefer a nice cream liquer) and shooting the bull as I gaze at all the rpoud owners of GS1200's!!!

(hahaha)

Keep posting Osi. However, I am a little surprised that an animal lover such as yourself would wish to "shoot a bull". Still perhaps you were offended by the said animal at sometime in the in the past.

Well... heh, heh... blush... shucks, thanks guys... as for the mad scientist in me, he kinda is out of ideas at the moment... he *was* equipping his Bauer T450 with a second sprocket and nearly succeeded but then the electronics went south... granted, I still got a B&H Filmosonic 600PS to convert to 12V/100W EFP lamps using a spare transformer so I don't have to use expensive DJL bulbs with it... But other than that? I need ideas, folks [Wink]

I have that same B&H machine would it be possible for you to do the same job for mine? I like this machine for screening first time prints, before makeup and before through the 1200hd's.

The DJL bulb was the worst thing they did to that machine. As was mono sound. I always liked the controls for this machine and it's earlier cousins of the same design.

If you could help me out that'd be wonderful!

Let me know what I have to do.

Nothing wrong with being too chatty [Smile]

[Smile]

its always interesting to read other peoples views and opinions thats what makes life interesting. well I am just about to hobble of to the doctor a large piece of wood hit me a week ago just above the ankle thought it would come right but not so. about a year ago I was on a mountain bike track close where we live. I usually zoom around it about once a week dodging the trees etc, well this time I got to the top of a hill and just before a steep narrow drop there was lady there, she gave me a big [Smile]

[Smile]

and said hello as I went past, the distraction made me loose the centre line on that downhill bit, went of the track and over the handle bars and did a flying leap into the trees bike and all, apart from a fractured rib and a few cuts and bruising I was very very lucky. The lady did come to my assistance asked if she could help I said a helicoptor would be nice, joking of course, well I managed to pedal home bent wheel and all, my daughter had just arrived and the first thing she said when seeing me was why had I not done the breakfast dishes [Eek!]

[Eek!]

so much for sympathy, [Roll Eyes]

[Roll Eyes]

oh, the week before there was a family at that very spot at the top of that hill, the kids were reluctant to go down it, and as I went through them the dad said watch this man and see how to do it, just as well I did not do my Superman leap that day might have died of embarrassment.

Chip: forgot to answer your post last time I checked this thread [Roll Eyes]

[Roll Eyes]

Anyway, my plan is this... the Filmosonic, as you know, has a 3-way switch that goes "off/motor/lamp" so basically I plan on removing the existing bulb socket and feeding the two wires leading to it (which carry the standard 110V/60Hz AC voltage, switched on and off by aforementioned switch) into a transformer which I'll pick off one of the Elmo skeletons I have. From that transformer I can then get the 12V/100W current needed to power an EFP lamp, and then it's just a matter of drilling holes and attaching the lamp holder in the correct position in front of the film gate/shutter wheel. That's the theory, anyway, no question there'll be unexpected uh-oh's once I get down to it [Smile]

Yes but can you do one for me as well? I guess I would have to buy the parts from your skeleton if you have one available to spare for that. I have no problem sending you the machine when you are ready.

Well, it'll take time... let me see how I succeed with my own Filmosonic first and we'll go from there...

(BTW, we're way off-topic by now)
