Best to contact him directly. I think he posts here once in a while. I have never heard of Wessmann. When/where were these projectors made?  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-13-2009 04:54 PM                     I think he means Wassman and they were made in spain  |  IP: Logged Danial Simmonds Expert Film Handler Posts: 107 From: Kota Damansara, Selangor, Malaysia Registered: Jan 2008 posted 06-14-2009 04:13 AM                        Yup wassman projector.. sorry for the mistake..

In the US their dealers were Marty Bahn in Miami (sadly deceased) and Rangertone in Clifton, NJ (out of business). I have a few SC-210's and the best I could do was some nearly illegible xeroxes which are incomplete and too fuzzy to copy. Sorry.  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?" Posts: 4143 From: Boston, MA Registered: Apr 2002 posted 06-14-2009 10:41 PM                        Apparently this is the company which made (makes?) the Wassmann projectors: http://www.elementosdiseno.es/home_ie_eng.html They should be able to provide some documentation.  |  IP: Logged Danial Simmonds Expert Film Handler Posts: 107 From: Kota Damansara, Selangor, Malaysia Registered: Jan 2008 posted 06-16-2009 12:55 AM                        Thank again Michael, i will contact them... Well is the sound alignment on a 16mm similar to a 35mm projector? Anyone know where i can get hold of some 16mm test films?? Thanks Dan.  |  IP: Logged Gene Stavis Film Handler Posts: 26 From: New York, NY Registered: Aug 1999 posted 06-16-2009 07:50 PM                        The Hokushin was also sold under the Apollo name as the Q100. That company, which specialized in a/v stuff might still be in business.  |  IP: Logged
