Re: [Frameworks] Looking for 16mm projectors
Thanks all, We are 6 hours south of Chicago, so I'll ck out Urbanski and Full Aperture. Dominic, what's the weight of the Pageant? Email me off line with the specifics please. I believe we've received all the unused equipment from other departments. Problem is the person who repaired our film equipment left years ago. St Louis is a couple hours away. Any equipment repair or refurbished film equipment recommendations located there? In answer to your questions scott, one was a theatre projector we used to screen rented prints - very good condition with a decent lens. The others were classroom projectors used to screen educational films ( we have a stash from our library) and experiments. Not sure what I can spend on replacements. Couldn't believe it when I walked into the screening space and they were all gone!

[Frameworks] Looking for 16mm projectors
Greetings all, I teach experimental film at SIU and somehow our three 16mm projectors were either surplused by accident or stolen - very upsetting! I am looking for recommendations for sources for decent projectors. Purchasing from e-bay is a bit problematic for university purchasing. Thanks- Cade Bursell ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks

[Frameworks] equipment repair
Can someone recommend a good person to repair analog equipment? For starters: we're looking for someone who can repair Super 8 projectors(our TRV transfer projector) and possibly fashion a 20 pin cable for our 16mm analyzer projector (went missing last semester.) We're located in the midwest but will ship. Thanks Cade ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks
