Author Topic: Norelco DP75 mag head questions Sean Weitzel Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 619 From: Vacaville, CA (1790 miles west of Rockwall) Registered: Dec 1999 posted 09-06-2003 10:09 PM                     I am a total newbie to this projector. So I have this DP75 now, sans mag heads. I saw someone advertising 6 track assemblies for the AA2. my question is, are the mag heads for an AA2 interchangeable with the DP75?  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

Is there one head cluster for 70mm 6trk and a seperate one for 35mm 4trk? or are they integrated into one?  |  IP: Logged Aaron Sisemore Flaming Ribs beat Reeses Peanut Butter Cups any day!

BTW, I found your 35mm spindle. -Aaron  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

Kinoton still offers new 6 and 10-track heads as well (no they aren't those blue plastic things...these are precision made). For future reference the same head is used on the current FP-75E (and MP-75E).

If you get desperate let me know. No idea if they still work but probably pulled from service while still functional. 4-track not as worn as 6-track.  |  IP: Logged Sean Weitzel Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 619 From: Vacaville, CA (1790 miles west of Rockwall) Registered: Dec 1999 posted 09-08-2003 07:19 PM                     I struck a deal for a NIB 10 track head. What I need more than anything is the optical sound drum and flywheel assembly. which seems to be absent! Unless the flywheel uses those round plates that stack up, which i have. (Aaron, I'm sending you my wish list here shortly.)  |  IP: Logged Aaron Sisemore Flaming Ribs beat Reeses Peanut Butter Cups any day!

I can't find that shaft here, I would guess it was the item they were looking for when it was parted out. -Aaron  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-08-2003 10:52 PM                     the "waffers" for the flywheel are interesting as I have noticed with certain angles of projection more or less were required to eliminate flutter and odd arrangement  |  IP: Logged
