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
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 p
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 think
Getting back to your question of a manual for your splicer - in case you manage
to get one with 35 pins. The B&H 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.

Yep, Buck as always is right — I hadn’t looked closely at the pictures.
How wide are the platens?

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.

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

On this older version, I think the front and back buttons work in tandem — push
on the rear one to move pins in one direction, the front to move in the other.
Same on each side.
The pins may be stuck —try some acetone in the holes around the pins to
dissolve old film cement. Work the buttons
Hi all, I have a Bell & Howell 35mm/16mm hot splicer that supposedly
has "retractable" 16mm registration pins. I'm wanting to cut some
35mm neg on it.
Does anyone know how to retract the pins? And how to align the 35mm
film without them? I don't see any other pins other than the 16mm
ones rig
