Author Topic: Goldberg Platter Reel Blake Zaugg Film Handler Posts: 57 From: Lafayette, LA Registered: Sep 2002 posted 05-28-2004 09:51 PM                     In previous posts and in the "Reviews" section we have talked about this platter reel as being the best for moving prints between booths. On the Golberg website it lists some additional items for it. What does the Centre Drive unit, Film Winding Band, Solid Locking Ring do? - Is it just other words for brain, o-ring? The Show shipper System is both the giant case that goes around everything AND the platter reel...anything else? Why is it more $$ without the centre drive unit than with it? Is there any other equipment needed to make this function well?  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 05-29-2004 01:16 AM                     All you need is the reel itself. Forget the carrying case and for that matter, you don't even need the band and rubber inserts.  |  IP: Logged Robert Throop Master Film Handler Posts: 412 From: Vernon, NY USA Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-31-2004 10:56 AM                     Blake, Would you please post the address for the Goldberg website?

Yea, right...... when ya work with Goldberg it seems more like they've been around 5 years in the buisness. They just aren't what they used to be!

He used to be quite active on the SMPTE Projection Committee, and was very involved in the Extended Length Reel (ELR) project -- Goldberg had a very nice design for both reel and case. Always nice to see him at the trade shows.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!! Posts: 12814 From: Annapolis, MD Registered: Dec 1999 posted 06-02-2004 06:48 AM                     I don't think Victoria Adams has been with them for a while either. Randy are Don Urlik seem to be handling the reel side of things. I know that they have been rather indifferent to the fact that their current 70mm reel (floating or otherwise) no longer meets SMPTE specs in width (outside edge to outside edge). All I've ever received was a set of shrugged shoulders. As to MPR...we have customers that love'em and some that hate-em. As to transport cases...we have those that use them too. When moving a print from complex to complex they are quite handy.
