Author Topic: Retrofitting CFS Pay-out Heads With Removable Pay-Out Heads. Paul G. Thompson The Weenie Man Posts: 4718 From: Mount Vernon WA USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 12-19-2003 09:42 PM                     There was at one time a company that made them. It involved a new spindle to accommodate a receptical assy to allow for a pay-out head similar to Strong's that was used in the A-3. Does anyone know of this company? I have checked with Brad and a few theatre suppliers, but came up empty handed. I want to convert my CFS platters to removable pay-out heads.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 12-19-2003 09:53 PM                  You might try asking Dick Niccum who used to be a partner in Rentec. His new company is Lighting Image Technologies. Look it up on the internet. >>> Phil  |  IP: Logged Richard Fowler Film God Posts: 2392 From: Ft.

Talk to Suzy Bright at Potts.  |  IP: Logged Ken Layton Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1452 From: Olympia, Wash.

You might give him a call. Let me know if you need his # If you ever decide to upgrade those platters out of the booth, he'd probably be interested.  |  IP: Logged Ken Layton Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1452 From: Olympia, Wash.
