MPE was the shop in NYC. I don't know if the have anyone left who even knows what a flatbed is, but years ago Stewart Mann there was the guy. Boston Connection up north will work on them and they can probably swap boards by mail if you can identify the bad board.
In general people who work on mechanical film equipment hate working on the moviola flatbeds because of the electronic controls on everything. It's a totally different set of skills needed to work on compared with a KEM. But you could try Paul Tomasko and see if he's willing to touch it. In general if the electronic controls are becoming flaky and you haven't recapped the machine in the past 20 years, any good tech is going to want to replace every electrolytic capacitor in the thing before before even attempting diagnosis, just to warn you. It's a good plan. --scott -- Frameworks mailing list [email protected] https://mail.film-gallery.org/mailman/listinfo/frameworks_film-gallery.org
