Registered: Apr 2001 posted 07-21-2003 05:03 PM                     Serge, how old is the platter. The ST200 is the original and in my opinion the best platter ever made. if you've got one of the older push button types you should be aware that the push button assembly is no longer available. That aside the rest of the spares are fully available as far as I know. Given the choice I would have them every time. If you, or anyone else, needs one of these switch assemblies I have one that I'm happy to part with for the cost of post and packaging... Had it for years sitting doing nothing so may as well let it find a good home... Regards Ken.  |  IP: Logged Per Hauberg Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 883 From: Malling, Denmark Registered: Jul 2000 posted 07-21-2003 05:09 PM                        Almost nevertheless how much, You paid for it, You've never spend money that well.

Registered: Apr 2001 posted 07-21-2003 05:27 PM                     Hi Per, they just run and run.... what I like most is that they do not run out of control. Turn the projector on they run.... turn projector off they stop. They don't go from 0 - 100 at the drop of a hat. Very stable and smooth. Fit a good wrap around sensor, NOT the Kinoton version, and you will never damage a frame of film! As you say the best money he'll possibly ever spend.  |  IP: Logged Serge Bosschaerts Film Handler Posts: 70 From: Schoten, Belgium Registered: Jan 2000 posted 07-22-2003 01:50 AM                        Hello everybody, It's already the version with the round selectors instead off the push buttons. I was lucky and got some spare parts with the platter like a spare motor, some relays and other bits and pieces. Michael, thanks in advance for the PDF copy Serge  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?"

As punishment, I will send you the German version. No, wait, since you are from Belgium, you understand German very well I suppose. So, do I also have the Russian version... No. Well, OK, I will send you the German file. EDIT - OK, now I tried to send it by email several times, but it didn`t work. The file is 3,8MB. I know from experience that emails are limited to 10MB with my provider (Cox). Now after the email and attachment have been uploaded, I get an error messag: The server SMTP has not replied within 60 seconds. I clicked on "wait" several times, but in the end it never helped. How can I send this big file?  |  IP: Logged Michael Barry Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 584 From: Sydney, NSW, Australia Registered: Nov 1999 posted 07-22-2003 09:38 AM                     Michael S: Ask Brad if there is some space on the F-T server to upload to...then Serge can download it from there. Of course, I cannot speak for Brad - it is up to him! Just a suggestion, though.  |  IP: Logged System Notices Forum Watchdog / Soup Nazi Posts: 215 Registered: Apr 2004 posted 03-16-2011 06:02 PM                 It has been 2794 days since the last post.  |  IP: Logged Andy Frodsham Expert Film Handler Posts: 238 From: Stoke on Trent, Staffs, UK Registered: Nov 2006 posted 03-16-2011 06:02 PM                     Michael. We've just taken delivery of one of these units as well. Would it be possible for you to email a copy of the manual (setup and operating) to me as well?

Try Bell Theatres Supplies, Omnex Pro Film or Future Projections who I know did removed some of these a few years ago and may/may not have the odd copy in their Workshop.  |  IP: Logged Pete Naples Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1565 From: Dunfermline, Scotland Registered: Feb 2001 posted 03-18-2011 09:43 AM                     *cough* These are good platters, their rep is well deserved. Replace the capacitir associated with the speed control variac motor periodically, that's about all that ever goes wrong with them. Kinoton do a IR POM conversion which basically gives you the same pay out head as the current ST200E, ie no moving parts in the POM, alas it's not cheap. However is you have a worn or damaged POM that needs replaced anyway...  |  IP: Logged
