Author Topic: Need Goldberg Bros Rewind Wireing Paul Vollmers Expert Film Handler Posts: 161 From: Sister Lakes, MI, USA Registered: Jul 2001 posted 08-23-2004 04:59 PM                     I have just come across another GoldBerg Bros rewind table Model E. Some one has cut the wires inside, so I need a wireing diagram to rewire it............does anyone have a page on this.......maybe it could be faxed or copied in some way.

BTW; The last word in the topic.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-23-2004 07:35 PM                     Bill, What you meant to list was this..... 1. Goldberg is one of the worst run companies I've ever encountered . They used to be great not too long ago though! 2. Sell the table or relegate it to workbench status 3. Buy a Kelmar instead. They have always been a first rate company and very likely always will be . Mark  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA.

I'd suggest that you put the thing on display in the theatre lobby and then buy the Kelmar that someone is selling in the For Sale forum for actual film work.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 08-23-2004 08:33 PM                     Ditto, Goldberg rewinders are pure evil. Toss it. (If you do get the wiring instructions though, send it in and I'll convert it to pdf and post it on the assumption someone else wants to resurrect one of those evil things.)  |  IP: Logged Paul Vollmers Expert Film Handler Posts: 161 From: Sister Lakes, MI, USA Registered: Jul 2001 posted 08-24-2004 06:47 AM                     Okay, Why is the Goldberg rewind table such a bad deal? How is it hard on film?

Likewise, any rewind that doesn't slow gradually at the end of the roll will likely damage the "slapping" film end.  |  IP: Logged Paul Vollmers Expert Film Handler Posts: 161 From: Sister Lakes, MI, USA Registered: Jul 2001 posted 08-25-2004 05:59 PM                     There are so many wires, many same color..........thats the problem. This rewind has a reastat for veriable speed........someone just cut all the wires......even the wall input 110 v line. A schematic sure would be most helpful.  |  IP: Logged Antonio Marcheselli Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1260 From: Florence, Italy Registered: Mar 2000 posted 08-25-2004 06:02 PM                        John, Are you saying that there is/was in the market a film rewinder that doesn't permit the gradual acceleration/deceleration? Just ON/OFF switch?? Bye A  |  IP: Logged Aaron Sisemore Flaming Ribs beat Reeses Peanut Butter Cups any day!

Wolk and Neumade both had rewinds with a 1/8 or 1/4 HP motor that literally were OFF and ON (The Neumade did have a reduction gearbox for handling large reels). -Aaron  |  IP: Logged
