We have a FP38D that still has an old white light mono sound cell on the 35mm side. What options do I have regarding getting a new stereo redlight LED sound reader on this machine? Thanks  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

I'd bet Sam at BACP probably has enough parts to make one and I'm sure Kelmar could set you up too. I don't recall Component Engineering making one for Kinoton.  |  IP: Logged Sam D.

I would need a closeup picture of the sound head area to know for sure.  |  IP: Logged Paul Gordon Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 580 From: Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Registered: Aug 2005 posted 06-30-2015 07:33 AM                        Here are the pictures Sam.  |  IP: Logged Sam D.

RSTR2000KK is the model # of the reader. Contact me directly or you could be buy from Cinematronix in your neck of the woods.  |  IP: Logged Paul Gordon Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 580 From: Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Registered: Aug 2005 posted 06-30-2015 10:30 AM                        Just tried mailing you, your box is full.  |  IP: Logged Sam D.
