USA Registered: Sep 2011 posted 10-05-2011 05:12 PM                     I have come accross an old Cinematic P-750 and was wondering if anyone had any information of it, manuals, part supplies, etc... I need a couple parts for it thatI know... but any links or such would be helpful. Thanks! Steve  |  IP: Logged Steven Wold Film Handler Posts: 12 From: Raleigh, NC.

Please post some pictures of it when you can. It's very unique and many film people here would love to see it. Mark  |  IP: Logged Steven Wold Film Handler Posts: 12 From: Raleigh, NC.

I dont know how I ended up with two, but I did.  |  IP: Logged Lindsay Morris Expert Film Handler Posts: 233 From: Darlington, WA, Australia Registered: Sep 2002 posted 10-08-2011 01:39 AM                     Steve, If I am looking at the correct pictures you posted in that link your machine bears a striking similarity to the Bell & Howell Std 8mm Model 606H. Minor difference re the switching which on the B&H is on the neck of the base and the others are the fan gauze on the end of the motor and the Still Frame/Run lever on the B& H is a flip over lever unit. You might be able to score some parts from a B & H 606 that might fit but I dont know about belts as the B&H used a series of gears in the arms and was a direct drive from the motor to the gearbox.../so NO belts that I know of.  |  IP: Logged Steven Wold Film Handler Posts: 12 From: Raleigh, NC. USA Registered: Sep 2011 posted 10-08-2011 07:15 PM                     Yea... looked it up... seem ssimilar.. the belt I need is in the motor section... I am not sure how it would work to operate the gears in the projector... I will post some pictures of the inners on the one I have in peices. But I need to look at it more to see how it effects the rest of the operation... It may only be for that "fan" assembly on it.  |  IP: Logged Steven Wold Film Handler Posts: 12 From: Raleigh, NC.

Now, I just need to find something to show with it. and for its age, it works well.  |  IP: Logged Mallory Olson Film Handler Posts: 3 From: Rhinelander, WI, usa Registered: Jun 2012 posted 06-26-2012 01:11 AM                      |  IP: Logged Jim Henk Master Film Handler Posts: 364 From: San Diego, CA Registered: Feb 2006 posted 06-26-2012 01:39 AM                     quote: Mark Gulbrandsen Steve... those were very rare and only a dozen or so were ever sold here in the states. Really? I have a friend who has one, and asked me about selling it about six months ago. Don't think she ever did. Does anybody here want one? No promises, but I could ask...  |  IP: Logged Mallory Olson Film Handler Posts: 3 From: Rhinelander, WI, usa Registered: Jun 2012 posted 06-26-2012 01:57 AM                     I'm selling mine if anyone is interested.  |  IP: Logged
