Author Topic: 16MM Large tower Michael Cornish Film Handler Posts: 26 From: Cincinnati, Ohio, USA Registered: Sep 2011 posted 06-01-2019 11:23 PM                     About a month or so ago I saw in an article I was reading that a company had come out with a 16 MM "tower". It was using a 16MM feature reel on a tower setup, one side was a feed the other was take up. It could be used with any table top projector. If anyone knows what I'm talking about please contact me. Thanks Mike  |  IP: Logged Lindsay Morris Expert Film Handler Posts: 233 From: Darlington, WA, Australia Registered: Sep 2002 posted 06-02-2019 10:50 PM                     Mike, A very common long play unit is the Eiki or Elf 16mm long play unit. Cannot work out how to post a link here but if you do a Google search on Eiki 16mm long play unit quite a few listings will come up some even with videos of them in use. I have used one many times in the past and they were very easy to use and gentle on film. From time to time they pop up on Ebay but get snapped up rather quickly.  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-03-2019 10:58 AM                     Atlantic Audio Visual also made a long play unit that a 16mm projector sat in the middle of with a added 450 vertical xenon lamp mounted above it They were available with Bell and Howell Singer(graflex) and Kalart projectors Elmo also made a stand alone unit  |  IP: Logged Mike Croaro Master Film Handler Posts: 394 From: Millbrae, CA Registered: Apr 2005 posted 06-03-2019 04:35 PM                     I have one of those Eiki Units.
