Author Topic: 70mm. stuff Any use? Keith Peticolas Expert Film Handler Posts: 108 From: Eagle River, Alaska, USA Registered: Aug 2001 posted 09-30-2001 10:32 PM                     I have some 70mm gear for a Century projector. Rollers, pads, optical sound head, and a dry web cleaner.(christie) Is there any use for this stuff? I doubt I'll ever use them again, but I hate to just throw it all in the trash. Is there a resale market, or do I try to trade it away?  |  IP: Logged Aaron Sisemore Flaming Ribs beat Reeses Peanut Butter Cups any day!

Odds are that cleaner will sell to someone willing to convert it to run 35mm or 16mm or 8mm.  |  IP: Logged Keith Peticolas Expert Film Handler Posts: 108 From: Eagle River, Alaska, USA Registered: Aug 2001 posted 09-30-2001 11:57 PM                     Righto Gents, will do. Thanks for the info. kp While it's on my mind, Brad whould you be interested in a trade? I wouldn't mind exchanging the stuff for some Film Guard. kp  |  IP: Logged Per Hauberg Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 883 From: Malling, Denmark Registered: Jul 2000 posted 10-03-2001 08:00 PM                        70mm optical sound ?

Of course, 70mm DTS timecode is also a form of "optical sound". ------------------ John P.
