All,

I did a search here on the forum for film cleaning, maybe my choice of words during those searches left a bit to be desired, needless to say I didn't turn up anything relevant.

I'm looking for an automated method for cleaning both standard 8mm and Super 8 film. I've a ton of film to telecine and most of it is full of lint etc. Looking for any ideas on home-made cleaning equipment based on hand rewinds editors old projector etc. Any hints would be welcome.

Thanks, John

Hi,

most Goko-viewers can hold an additional film-cleaner. (Goko-viewers have been sold under other names, too).
E.g.:

At least two of the motorised Braun-viewers were able to hold an additional film-cleaner, too:

But IMHO it's best to use a manual rewinder, a clean tissue and come cleaner.
