Author Topic: Neumade Splicer Parts Jeremy Weigel Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1062 From: Edmond, OK, USA Registered: Mar 2007 posted 04-30-2010 12:26 AM                     So I've been trying to get replacement parts for my 2 splicers and have been told that the parts are on back order and have been so for a few months. In particular I need replacement perf/dye sets and cutter assemblies. I bought these off eBay. Anyone else having this problem? Brad, since you are now supplying splicing tapes, do you have any plans to supply splicer parts as well? I am assuming that he Neumade and Splycemar splicers are identical.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 04-30-2010 01:45 AM                     We are considering the possibility, but as of today no we are not stocking the parts.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 04-30-2010 11:12 AM                     Since you no doubt need these parts quickly here are two stocking Neumade parts sources... General Theatrical Supply 2181 W. California Avenue - Suite 250 Salt Lake City, UT 84104 GTS stocks all the Neumade Splicer parts and does repairs on them. Just so I am not showing any favor-ability here I will also recommend another dealer whom also imports these splicers from Japan.

I'll definitely check them out.  |  IP: Logged Sean McKinnon Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1712 From: Peabody Massachusetts Registered: Sep 2000 posted 04-30-2010 01:20 PM                        funny we've been waiting about 6 months for a frame counter as they are on back order from Neumade. Whats the deal? Did they stop stocking thier 35mm line because they think D Cinema is taking over the world?  |  IP: Logged Louis Bornwasser Film God Posts: 4441 From: prospect ky usa Registered: Mar 2005 posted 04-30-2010 02:00 PM                        All 35ss aplicers and parts are in stock at Hadden (502) 499-0050. Frame counters are in stock! (35mm is NOT dead here!)

Go for Splycemar. The parts are interchangeable and they still exist.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!! Posts: 12814 From: Annapolis, MD Registered: Dec 1999 posted 04-30-2010 05:42 PM                     Neumade has definitely changed their focus to an industry that can support them better than the occasional film based order. That said, we have not had horrible delays from them, except on splicing tape. We too stock most 35SS (and 16SW) parts and rework them.

Get a [1-gang] sync block, they are much more usable! --jhawk  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!! Posts: 12814 From: Annapolis, MD Registered: Dec 1999 posted 05-05-2010 10:20 AM                     While the sync blocks are much nicer...they are also much more expensive and for most booth needs, don't bring much extra to the table.

You'll pay less than for a new Neumade measuring machine and get a better product faster (if you're waiting 6 months!) and cheaper. Last one I see (completed listings) went for $73 incl shipping last week. --jhawk  |  IP: Logged Thomas Moore Film Handler Posts: 56 From: Imperial, Mo USA Registered: Oct 2005 posted 05-15-2010 01:49 PM                        I order all my parts faithfully through Louis at Hadden Theatre Supply. Never on backorder and receive the parts very quick.  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 05-15-2010 05:54 PM                     quote: Sean McKinnon operators were getting tired of counting frames by hand to mark cues for prints that don't have any. measure 2 ft from the last frame on the tail leader to put the end of the 2nd cue, then measure 11 ft from that cue to the end of the 1st cue. Kinda easy, I'd say.  |  IP: Logged Louis Bornwasser Film God Posts: 4441 From: prospect ky usa Registered: Mar 2005 posted 05-16-2010 08:23 AM                        We always used the rewind bench as a measuring stick. 2 benches equals 11 ft.
