And the manufacturer is .... Kinoton!! An end-user discovered that if he took their standard basement reader and flipped it upside-down, it would work in the DP-70. Kinoton has adopted the idea and now offers it as an upgrade. I know of another manufacturer that is working on basement reader for the DP-70 as well but hasn't finished it yet. This presumes you want Dolby Digital since the DP-70 has been reverse scan since it's inception. Ultra-Stereo makes a JAXLIGHT for it if you just want the red LED fiasco.

They have a pair of U-2s (the big green ones with the square reel magazines). As they explained it to me, they had to convert to LED reverse-scan because the exciter bulbs for those projectors were no longer available. I believe that the cost was about $800 per machine.  |  IP: Logged Serge Bosschaerts Film Handler Posts: 70 From: Schoten, Belgium Registered: Jan 2000 posted 01-09-2000 05:36 AM                        I noticed that you also live in Belgium. Have you already tried ARC in Brussels ? I know that one of their technicians, Marcel Fontaine, has already made some LCD reverse scans for the Bauer B12 and B11. Maybe he has done it also for the Bauer U4. Are you having trouble with the analog reader ?  |  IP: Logged
