Author Topic: Best Price on 35-SS Splicer Ian Bailey Master Film Handler Posts: 317 From: Nambucca Heads, Australia Registered: Jun 2003 posted 04-10-2005 05:24 PM                     Hi Just wandered if you guys can help. I want to buy a Neumade 35-SS splicer and would like to know who does the best deals on them in the U.S. We don't have a dealer for them down here!  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 04-10-2005 07:38 PM                     Once, in a great while, one of these 35SS splicers will show up on eBone for pennies compared to a new one. Disadvantage is that it would be a used one that has the probable chance of needing adjusting/fixing/cleaning/new parts needed. -good luck, Ian - Monte  |  IP: Logged Frank Angel Film God Posts: 5305 From: Brooklyn NY USA Registered: Dec 1999 posted 04-11-2005 10:30 AM                        While we are talking about the 35SS (standard sprockets, right?) What do I do for Scope sprockets? Is there a Neumade 35CS (CinemaScope sprockets) model? Or does Neumade make replacement parts that can convert standard to scope using the same base?  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

Hmmm, bet we'd have to morgage the theatre to buy that baby. But given the fact that at one time almost all the theatres in the country needed splicers with fox sprockets, and now no one needs them (plenty of supply, no demand), I would imagine they can be found aplenty in the used equipment dealers' warehouses.  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 04-13-2005 01:36 AM                     quote: Frank Angel I would imagine they can be found aplenty in the used equipment dealers' warehouses. ..would you settle for a good ol' Griswald "wet splice" fox-sprocket splicer? I might be able to round up one. -Monte  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA. USA (1774.21 miles northeast of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 04-13-2005 08:12 AM                        I have an almost-new "Neuscope" cement splicer (with pins set up for CS perfs) that I'm using as a paperweight. I'd happily loan it to anyone who needs to deal with CS perfs or trade it for a regular Griswold cement splicer in good cosmetic condition.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!! Posts: 12814 From: Annapolis, MD Registered: Dec 1999 posted 04-13-2005 09:07 AM                     By the time the tape splicer came out and was in wide use...CS perfs were on their way out. I have personally come across very few 35CS splicers (Neumade).  |  IP: Logged Mark J.

Posts: 12814 From: Annapolis, MD Registered: Dec 1999 posted 04-13-2005 05:18 PM                     Mark, You should be able to. However, the punch and die assemblies are the most expensive thing on the splicer.  |  IP: Logged System Notices Forum Watchdog / Soup Nazi Posts: 215 Registered: Apr 2004 posted 10-27-2007 11:33 AM                 It has been 926 days since the last post.  |  IP: Logged Amanda Mundin Expert Film Handler Posts: 122 From: Belper, Derbyshire, UK Registered: Sep 2005 posted 10-27-2007 11:33 AM                     Does Neumade still manufacture the 35SS in both the USA and Japan, and if so is there any difference in quality?  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 10-27-2007 11:42 AM                     The 35SS is only produced in Japan and is imported and distributed by two different U.S. companies. According to the Florida importer they are actually made in a garage type machine shop.... it doesn't come out of some huge Japaneese factory. For new I would reccomend you contact Cinema Equipment & Supplies in Miami, the Florida importer... since they tend to be a bit more reasonable on pricing. 305-232-8182 For used 35SS keep an eye on E-Bay but be weary of abused splicers!!

Our source is the same as listed above. Hadden keeps more than 30 in stock. Louis  |  IP: Logged
