Wonderful news Edwin! Is this now quieter running than the previous prototype one you very kindly sent me and is the surface finish of the cam now smoother?

I shall order one tomorrow Edwin as there are a few other bits and pieces you have recently produced on your 3D printer that I could use. E.g. S938 Mag Head clip and the Bauer framer repair kit just in case I ever need it.

Is there any progress regarding the long play unit Super 8mm rollers Edwin? The ones I submitted photos on here for including all dimensions?

About the CAMS. The surface is slightly smoother. But the main improvement is a redesign of the nok (the small part on the film-taker (grijper in Dutch)). This reduces the noise level a lot. A bit more noise then the original ones, but a very good improvement on the previous version!

Till now we have extended the live of 3 of our filmscanners (based on Bauer T610 projectors), which all had worn out CAM/nokken. We replaced these with the new 3D printed ones and are running fine again!

Fabulous news and very well done indeed regarding the Nok!

I shall be placing an order tomorrow once you bring to market.

If I were to remove an amplifier board for you to test and repair (one channel has fault somewhere in the pre amp), would you be able to do so as a separate circuit board or do you need the full machine Edwin?

if you are 100% sure that the error is in the applifier board and I have the same projector here then we can do that. But, in general it is better to have the complete projector for E2E testing. Shipping to the UK is also not so expensive.

It was more to do with the courier handling I was concerned but no worries Edwin, I will send the complete machine.
I shall look into shipping it when you are back from your holidays thanks.

Wonderful to have a another new item in 9.5 The clip is on a full 800 m (2400 ft) reel. It is also useful to hold films which were mounted on the other side you want them. This happens sometimes in 9.5 as some projectors have the "Pathé Baby system" (the film leaves the feeding spool an the left when you look at it from the control side of the projector and other projectors have the "modern system (the film leaves the feeding spool like in the other gauges (like on the Buckingham).

These clips are so useful ! I screened a film that had two reasons to leave the spools : the spool was full and the film had been mounted on the wrong side. Using a clip to hold the film while manipulating the spool helped a lot. Thanks again, Edwin !

Hi Dominique, thx!

We are now also working on manufacturing new reels with the latest modern techniques like 3D printing and laser-printing metals. The idea we have is to make this as generic as possible. e.g. the possibility to have the inner core and reels interchangeable. E.g. you can re-use a reel on a 8mm core on a new 9,5mm core, etc.

Are there for 9,5mm films also cores available (like on 8mm and 16mm) where you need a "steckspulle" te play these films on the cores on a projector?

I never saw or heard about that on 9,5. On super 8, I only came across of some optical films mounted on a core.
