Author Topic: Westrex / Monee Red reader conversion. Help ! Jean-Michel Grin Expert Film Handler Posts: 222 From: Geneva & Lausanne, Switzerland Registered: Jul 2002 posted 07-20-2003 06:14 PM                        Hi everyone, Just a question: we project to convert our direct scan analogs readers on ours 4 Monee projectors to reverse Scan red light readers. We asked to Component Engineering, but they say that din't develop an reader to upgrade the Monee, because they are too different fron the Century projector. Has anyone an idea to convert these sound reproducer ? The best for me will to throw away theses projectors and install a Cinemeccanica...  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 07-20-2003 07:12 PM                     Kelmar and BACP have a Westrex kit that should work  |  IP: Logged Greg Pauley Expert Film Handler Posts: 173 From: Huntington, WV, USA Registered: Jun 2000 posted 07-20-2003 10:35 PM                        I did an install last year at a 8 plex with monee projector and used the Century Component Engineering reverse scans units. The only modification I had to do was to drill one of the holes for the mounting bracket so it would fit the monee.  |  IP: Logged Peter Hall Master Film Handler Posts: 314 From: London, UK Registered: Dec 2000 posted 07-20-2003 11:27 PM                        We've fitted our lasers on MONEE machines with total success.
