Author Topic: BX80 to MI9030 mounting Sam Hunter Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 779 From: West Monroe, LA, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 09-03-2002 10:46 PM                     What all will I need to mate a BX80 to a MI9030 sound head? And where can I find them? Thanks! ------------------ Samual Hunter Sr. KC5ZSL  |  IP: Logged Ken Layton Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1452 From: Olympia, Wash.

I am sure that there is an adapter plate of some sort then there is the issue of the drive gear between the BX80 and sound head and the shaft that the gear rides on. ------------------ Samual Hunter Sr. KC5ZSL  |  IP: Logged John Anastasio Master Film Handler Posts: 325 From: Trenton, NJ, USA Registered: Sep 2000 posted 09-04-2002 08:41 PM                        You'll need the mounting plate that mates the BX-80 to the soundhead and you'll need the drive gear and drive shaft assembly. Just tell the folks at Wolk that you want the shaft assembly, drive gear and the fibre drive gear for the Brenkert...everything that sticks in the hole and the drive gear that goes with it. They'll know what you want. The whole thing is held in place by a LONGggggg lock nut that sticks out from the back of the projector. It's the "2400" assembly...X 2403 shaft, X2434 drive gear and I think the fibre gear is the X 2436. They'll know, believe me. Have your credit card handy.  |  IP: Logged Sam Hunter Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 779 From: West Monroe, LA, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 09-04-2002 10:19 PM                     Thanks John. P.S. Don't laugh too hard at the packaging for your reel. Couldn't find a box to fit it. ------------------ Samual Hunter Sr. KC5ZSL  |  IP: Logged John Anastasio Master Film Handler Posts: 325 From: Trenton, NJ, USA Registered: Sep 2000 posted 09-06-2002 04:01 PM                        The reel arrived with nary a bend or scratch, thanks to the multiple layers in which it was nestled. I hope you'll post a picture of that BX-80/9030 combination when it's finished.  |  IP: Logged Sam Hunter Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 779 From: West Monroe, LA, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 09-06-2002 05:13 PM                     You can count on it. Can,t resist bugging you guys. Thanks! ------------------ Samual Hunter Sr. KC5ZSL  |  IP: Logged
