Author Topic: Victoria 5 reverse-scan preamp Fabian Schreyer Film Handler Posts: 63 From: Aachen, Germany Registered: Feb 2009 posted 03-28-2012 07:06 PM                     I am rebuilding a 1997-made Cinemeccanica Victoria 5 these days. While I was able to fix most problems that occured, I'm stuck at wiring the reverse scan soundhead. The main problem is that I just don't know the supply voltage for the preamp. It seems to require a symmetrical power supply, but I was absolutely unable to find any information on this topic on the internet. I was able to figure out that modern processors like a CP650 do have an integrated power supply for such purposes. As I am planning to use a CP65 or CP55 I guess I probably need some external power supply, or am I wrong? Thanks in advance for any help on this  |  IP: Logged Sam D.

Do you have the power supply for the LED? You do need to find a source for +/-12 Volts.  |  IP: Logged Fabian Schreyer Film Handler Posts: 63 From: Aachen, Germany Registered: Feb 2009 posted 04-01-2012 05:32 PM                     Thanks for your help. At the moment I'm using the +24/-18 volts from the CP55s test connector together with 7812/7912 voltage regulators to get a -12/+12v power supply. The power supply for the LED was built into the projectors basement, so the setup is completed for the moment.  |  IP: Logged
