Author Topic: Metallic alignement Film Jean-Michel Grin Expert Film Handler Posts: 222 From: Geneva & Lausanne, Switzerland Registered: Jul 2002 posted 02-09-2004 03:34 AM                        Hi Evryone ! Recently we had to rebuilt a projector mechanism, and I inspected the alignement of the parts of the mecanism with a part of leader loaded trought the projector. But I mean that exist a most accurate method to check the alignement with a "metalic film" looking like a classic 35 mm leader, but made of verry thin metal. My question is: Where I can buy this alignement tool ? Thanks for Your replies, and appologyses for my weak English ;-) Bye, Jean-Michel  |  IP: Logged Gilbert Travin Expert Film Handler Posts: 101 From: Villeurbanne / France Registered: Jan 2004 posted 02-09-2004 06:43 AM                        Hi Jean-Michel ! I'm not sure that is existing ... One can ask the projector manufacturer to know if he had an alignment-gauge. What is the model of projector ?  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-09-2004 07:39 AM                     LaVezzi in the U.S. makes Metal film. Their web site is here... http://www.lavezzi.com/LavMotionPic.html You can contact them through the web site to find out who the French distributer is.
