Author Topic: mounting a dryweb media cleaner Brian Zeisler Film Handler Posts: 39 From: West Chicago, IL, USA Registered: Jun 2002 posted 05-25-2003 01:43 AM                     ok, here is the set-up. i have two century projectors, one of which (#1) is hooked up to an orc platter. the other (#2) is used during intermission like a reel-to-reel change-over. the question is, how would i go about mounting a dryweb media cleaner for projectors #1 and #2???  |  IP: Logged Michael Rourke Expert Film Handler Posts: 159 From: San Luis Obispo, Central Coast of CA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 05-25-2003 02:14 AM                     Get 2 projector brackets from Kelmar and mount them between the upper reel magazine (or roller) and the projector. Then the cleaner can be mounted easily with just a turn of the screw, you can run it for the intermission and then dismount from #2 and pop it on #1 before the show starts.  |  IP: Logged Henning Anderson Film Handler Posts: 27 From: Esbjerg, Denmark Registered: Jan 2001 posted 05-25-2003 09:31 AM                     So I got the Kelmar cleaner and the FilmGuard, but I need to mount it on my Vic5's. Has anyone got any pictures of the brackets and how it works. I don't want to buy 7 brackets just to find that I can't use them. I am spending my own money on this project until I can convince the boss that FilmGuard really is the GREATEST thing. Has any of you guys ever used the Kelmar Cleaner mounted on top of Vic5's ? We are using CNR35-5 platters and I can't get my head around the platter mounting (too many rollers and two movies going in all directions) This is how it looks: edited to include pic.  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-25-2003 09:35 AM                     I assume you have the standard Vic5 reel arm on the top with a guidance roller on it take it off and make a template of the mounting holes and make a splacer for the top of the macines with a mounting hole for the cleaner  |  IP: Logged
