Author Topic: Thank you, John Eickhof Scott Balko Expert Film Handler Posts: 136 From: Redwood Falls, Minnesota, USA Registered: Apr 2000 posted 01-16-2001 03:56 PM                     I would just like to publicly say thank you to John Eickhof. Being new to 35mm and a collector with old equipment, John has spent alot of time with me via email trying to solve my problem. Not only does he own a wealth of knowledge, but he took time out his busy schedule to help me out. So again, I say thank you.  |  IP: Logged Harry Robinson Expert Film Handler Posts: 155 From: Franklin Tennessee Registered: Dec 1999 posted 01-16-2001 05:03 PM                     I'd like to second that. John is always helpful, and when you have the good fortune to talk to him on the phone, he always takes the time to be friendly and encouraging. Not to mention the fact that he usually has stuff that nobody else does. And when you're dealing with antique equipment, that's crucial. Thanks, John. (Oh, by the way, does that mean you'll give me a great deal on that media cleaner?)  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-16-2001 05:19 PM                        John has been our tech for many years and always does a great job (along with his sidekick Phil). John, congrats for being on top of the film-tech chart!  |  IP: Logged John Eickhof Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 588 From: Wendell, ID USA Registered: Jan 2000 posted 01-16-2001 06:30 PM                        AW GEEZ GUYS!

(That's a long gone brand of film mending {splicing} cement for the newbies!)" AFAIK, "Ethyloid" film cement was made by a small company founded by a retired Kodak employee, right here in Rochester. A very good and popular cement, until the flammability and shipping regulations got too burdensome. ------------------ John P.

And will be in the future, I hope. Thanks John.  |  IP: Logged Jeff Stricker Master Film Handler Posts: 481 From: Calumet, Mi USA Registered: Nov 1999 posted 01-17-2001 11:26 AM                     John, the pad rollers and oil sight glass got my old SH-1000 sound head running like new! Many thanks, and I'll be thinking of you as other things need replaced.  |  IP: Logged
