It is described as a rewinder but I have a doubt. http://www.ebay.fr/itm/OUTIL-ANCIEN-BOBINEUSE-POUR-FILM-16-MM-BON-ETAT-/172018027958?hash=item280d12cdb6:g:5q8AAOSwuWVWE55T

Looks like an editing tool, to keep picture and sound synchronized.

Yes, that's what it is. I believe it's called a multi-gang synchronizer or something like that.

Yes,

This is used with fullcoat (sprocketed audiotape on a film base) for the recorded sound and regular film for the image.

You went out in the field with your camera and a sync cable and a fullcoat recorder and came back with two kinds of footage.

-kind of a lost art, I'm afraid. Even if you want to do it they haven't made fullcoat in a couple of decades now.

All I ask is a wide screen and a projector to light her by...

Are you sure it's not a sewing machine?

Synchronisers would have needed rewinds to use them. The number of "gangs" you would buy would match the number of spools which your rewinder could accommodate at one time.
A minimum of four "gangs" were recommended.
A large number of synchronisers have now joined 35mm cinema anamorphic lenses on eBay in the hope that they will bring in big money. But the truth is that that are now virtually worthless and nobody would buy as they would have no use for them.

Hi Pat nice to see a post, keep well. [Smile]

Well done Steve yes Fullcoat sync bed. A couple of local 16mm film producers had great setups for this and as you say a lost art now fading to obscurity.
