Hi Lena, I co-direct a women's film festival called GAZE in San Francisco, and we have featured many films (and we have a collection of amazing submissions) that may be of interest to you. Some that specifically stand out to me, - in terms of otherness- or seemingly, other with regards to the

Thankd Jeff, will try that. Any idea on how to align the two film strips without the pins? The 16mm seems to be the only one on the right; there are two other holes on the left that might produce pins once it's unglued. Or are 35mm pros so expert they don't need pins? thanks Scott At 03:00

Hi Scott, The 35 pins on a 1635 splicer are always up, but from your photos, someone physically yanked them out of your splicer. The buttons are for raising and lowering the 16 pins. -Sorry for the bad news, ---Buck Lawrence 'Buck' Bito Movette Film Transfer 1407 Valencia St, San Francisco,

Yep, Buck as always is right — I hadn’t looked closely at the pictures. How wide are the platens? On Feb 8, 2015, at 3:38 PM, Scott Stark sst...@hi-beam.net wrote: Thankd Jeff, will try that. Any idea on how to align the two film strips without the pins? The 16mm seems to be the only one on

Getting back to your question of a manual for your splicer - in case you manage to get one with 35 pins. The BH splicers were reproduced by Maier-Hancock and the operation is unchanged. Whatever angel runs apecity has warehoused tons of manuals including the Maier-Hancock 1635/816 manual.

Cardinal in Baltimore has some spare parts for M-H splicers in their copious back room. However, I don't think it would be impossible to make your own pins out of brass stock. They don't have to be super hard, and the profile does not have to be perfect as long as it is consistent, I don't

I would be wary of either repairing or modifying your splicer IF you care about good registration and splices that don’t jump. In the old days, steel film was used to check alignment, along with other gauges. Without those you are just guessing, and this isn’t a place you want to guess! You

a bummer, thanks guys - looks like it's not usable for 35mm. Fortunately I got it cheap, but cheap is expensive if it doesn't work... Still, I'm wondering how you align the right-hand film strip - it looks like there are no holes for pins at all. ?? Jeff, the platens are slightly wider than
