N.S.W. Australia Registered: Nov 2004 posted 11-24-2007 11:44 PM                     I am specifically looking for the part numbers of the various spindles namely the 1/2"X70mm 1/2"X35mm and the 5/16"X35mm and where can I get them. Does anyone have any?  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

Those drawings I do have...I'll see about getting them converted to pdf. Steve  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

The only full magazine drawings I have go back are 35mm ones for the C and such. I've uploaded what I have to FT so look for it to be posted someday.

Look in the Misc. section with a "new" tag on the name.  |  IP: Logged Bill Ryan Film Handler Posts: 22 From: Gloucester. N.S.W.

And thanks for organizing the parts list.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

Those that wanted to run 1/2" core 35mm reels bought reels with the 35/70 spacers on them. The 5/16" spindles were required to run shipping reels, house reels as well as split reels. These are unique to the JJ since the 5/16" JJ spindles have a 17.5mm offset built-in to keep the reel centered. No such spindle was offered in 1/2" form for the JJ by Century. Now Century did have 1/2" spindles for their 35mm machines but without a spacer. Kelmar, when they made their reel-arms for the JJ did offer, 35 and 70mm 1/2" spindles as well as 5/16" spindles. However, for 35mm they had a spacer block that spaced the 35mm versions out by 17.5mm. I don't have Wolk's number off the top of my head but when I get to the office on Monday I can post it....though I'm sure some here might know the number/address. Wolk's web site used to be www.edwolk.com but at this writing, it seems to be down (temporary?). Their number is 800-770-1467 Address: Edw. H. Wolk, Inc 606 East Brook Drive Arlington Heights, IL 60005-4622 USA Steve Steve [ 12-10-2007, 10:56 AM: Message edited by: Steve Guttag ]  |  IP: Logged
