Beautiful babies, Dino...
These are both working?

Claus yes they are working but there are problems. One of them has a crumbled shutter which ironically still has its blades (so it shutters correctly) but lost the surrounding wheel. The one with the extension arms still needs a couple more pulleys and a motor to really get the super reels running, since hand cranking a 300 footer makes me sweaty believe it or not. I did a lamp modification that Bob Pucci worked on his that fit in nicely, which got me enthused with the baby again.

Hi Dino, Wharton Parfitt in the UK can supply new Baby shutters machined out of brass. They are fairly easy to replace. He also carries rubber belts and Baby motors.

One of these times I need to get to one of your 9.5 screenings. We're too geographically close to not make this work sooner or later!
