Author Topic: Is this a Kinoton intermittent? Eric Robinson Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 538 From: Santa Rosa, CA Registered: Jan 2005 posted 01-17-2010 09:07 PM                     I was cleaning out a projection graveyard and came across this intermittent. The movement seems to work smoothly. Anyone know what machine it is from?  |  IP: Logged Al Biers Film Handler Posts: 13 From: Speedway, Indiana USA Registered: Oct 2003 posted 01-17-2010 09:20 PM                     Nope, looks like a Ballantine  |  IP: Logged Dan Lyons Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 698 From: Seal Beach, CA Registered: Sep 2002 posted 01-17-2010 10:16 PM                     Pro-35. Uses a crap plastic framing coupler just like Kinoton!  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 01-17-2010 10:18 PM                     Yea, the rear pulley drives the entire head assembly. the large shaft drives the whole transmission whereas that smaller shaft has that forbidden nylon coupler on it that meets up with the intermittent sprocket and it's the coupler that rolls the sprocket around when one needs to frame when it slides back and forth on that spline. Make a doorstop out of that unit.  |  IP: Logged Randy Bowden Expert Film Handler Posts: 146 From: Portland, OR, USA Registered: Aug 2000 posted 01-18-2010 11:11 AM                     You want me to take it off your hands Eric? I might be able to do something useful with it.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-18-2010 09:23 PM                     I've got 4 complete machines here Randy...

Something seems wrong about making this intermittent have a dual purpose of driving the rest of the machine. As Ballantyne states, its the "heart of the machine." Also, I noticed that everything about the pro 35 has a different design to it than Simplex 35 or Century, where did they get their ideas for these parts?  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

Ballantyne once was the importer of Norelco/Kinoton. The aperture plates are evena knock off of the Norelco FP20 series...hence they fit. As they say...imitated, not duplicated.

LOL I also have a rebuilt pro-35 that's been sitting on my work bench for over a year now, someone had a change of mind on that one...grrrrrrr.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-19-2010 11:51 AM                     quote: Steve Guttag As they say...imitated, not duplicated.
