Author Topic: Laser Alignment Kit - Where to purchase or get one made ? Glenn Conatser Film Handler Posts: 73 From: Northern California Registered: Aug 2001 posted 01-26-2002 02:00 AM                     I recently attended a Kodak projection school and we used a laser alignment kit for lamphouse alignments and was wondering where i can purchase one or get one made. If im not mistaken the one we used was custom built. So if anyone knows how i can obtain one it would be wonderful. Some of the houses here are in desperate need of an alignment.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 01-26-2002 02:09 AM                     Get one at this link. I've used this one and been very pleased with the results. It also won't break your pocketbook.

Do you know what they roughly cost ?  |  IP: Logged Richard Fowler Film God Posts: 2392 From: Ft. Lauderdale, FL, USA Registered: Jun 2001 posted 01-26-2002 10:02 AM                     The cost is about 1/4 of a "factory" unit and is more flexible and not specific to one company.........

You can order them thru Scott Hicks' American Cinema Equipment (www.cinequip.com) in Portland, Oregon  |  IP: Logged Greg Pauley Expert Film Handler Posts: 173 From: Huntington, WV, USA Registered: Jun 2000 posted 01-26-2002 11:52 AM                        NCS, Cincinnati branch is also selling a laser alignment kit made by Rick's Flm Service in Canada. I think the price is going to be around a couple hundred dollars. The one I saw was very well made and required you to tighten down an allen screw to activate the led. I've got one ordered for myself.  |  IP: Logged Greg Mueller Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1687 From: Port Gamble, WA Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-26-2002 12:25 PM                        Thanks for the plugs guys! Suggested retail (I love that line) is $200 but (here comes another one) prices may vary. American Cinema Equipment does have them as well as The Marble Co. My first run is sold out but I'm in the process of making up another batch, which should be done by the end of Feb, if not before. Accept no substitues (wish I knew how to make that flash) order the original Align-O-Tron today! ------------------ Greg Mueller Amateur Astronomer, Machinist, Filmnut http://www.muellersatomics.com/  |  IP: Logged Barry Hans Film Handler Posts: 92 From: Minneapolis, MN, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 01-26-2002 12:54 PM                        Hey Greg- any Film- Tech member discounts??  |  IP: Logged Jerry Chase Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1068 From: Margate, FL, USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 01-26-2002 02:45 PM                       Rumor has it that if you talk up "Moulin Rouge" Greg will give a discount.  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-26-2002 02:48 PM                     I have no complaints use it all the time  |  IP: Logged
