Author Topic: STRD-30 and RCA Bernie Anderson Jr Master Film Handler Posts: 435 From: Woodbridge, New Jersey Registered: Apr 2000 posted 05-06-2010 06:19 PM                        Just want to the CE website and it says that the STRD-30 isn't available for an RCA soundhead. Has anyone have a work around for this? I may have access to one from a five star SH. Thanks Bernie  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

Nor does anyone else, that I am aware of.  |  IP: Logged Bernie Anderson Jr Master Film Handler Posts: 435 From: Woodbridge, New Jersey Registered: Apr 2000 posted 05-07-2010 02:24 AM                        oh well. guess its a penthouse reader then.

It is a little more pricey than the Simplex but overall, not a bad deal.

Get a mount for the kelmar reverse scan readers (with DD) and instead use the component engineering readers along with the CE LED?  |  IP: Logged Louis Bornwasser Film God Posts: 4441 From: prospect ky usa Registered: Mar 2005 posted 06-09-2010 10:32 PM                        I would seriously doubt that these two units are compatible. Hoever, you can try. You will be the test pilot!
