Hi Guys Thanks for the feedback. The machine is a dual guage 35/70 model with a 4kW Zenith lamphouse. I'm not yet sure if it's practical for me at this stage, but I'm taking a look! The source is anything but local, but if it turns out to be a good buy then I'll hire a van to collect the thing. Dick - what are these ex-Apollo machines you mention?! Do you know of any good used equipment sources here in the north? (I hear rumours of someone in the Stockport area but don't yet know where ) Seems like the equipment market here is much less diverse and significantly more expensive than the US ![](http://www.film-tech.com/ubb/frown.gif) David

how about a used kinoton? VERY reliable, super still image. My personal favorite (apart from the bloody red led termainal behind the flywheel, grr)If no one has mentioned it, Vic 5's love throwing gear boxes. Some vic 5's gear boxes will last 20 years, others 10,000 hours. Mark Hathaway
