Author Topic: Kinoton "Pegboard" Automation Ian Bailey Master Film Handler Posts: 317 From: Nambucca Heads, Australia Registered: Jun 2003 posted 11-27-2005 08:50 PM                     I have an eary version of a Kinoton automation.I have been told it is a ST450(15x15 pegboard).There is nothing on the unit that i can verify this with. What I would like to do is to get a copy of a manual for this unit so I can sort out how to set it up.Can anyone help?? Also I would like to know any comments from you guys about this unit-reliability,flexibility etc. Thanks  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?"

I was obviously told the wrong information. How do you drive this thing? Are the "links" directional(like a diode)when they are plugged into the pegboard? Would there be a manual available?  |  IP: Logged David Kilderry Master Film Handler Posts: 355 From: Melbourne Australia Registered: Sep 1999 posted 12-03-2005 03:15 AM                        Ian, it is an ST 450, that is what it is designated in Europe and Australia by Philips and later Kinoton. The US used many differing names as they were distributed there by Norelco, then Kinotone and later others like BLS. That is why we call the DP70 (Europe) an EL4000 (Australia) and a Norelco AA11 all by different names. Their first platter was known as an ST 200. You have probably the best of the early generation automation systems made. It is essentailly a Cinemation without the line skips!  |  IP: Logged Ian Bailey Master Film Handler Posts: 317 From: Nambucca Heads, Australia Registered: Jun 2003 posted 12-06-2005 03:46 AM                     Thanks David-now I realise where the confusion come from. It took a while to work out what all the symbols meant for the outputs then it all seemed to fall into place how this thing works.It works a treat-just got to remember to change a couple of pegs for C/S and W/S prints.

If so, I could scan you one and mail it to you since we are running all our screens with the ST450.
