I don't know if they have anything hand-cranked other than a Kodascope in the glass case in the lobby but they, like Cinelab, are run by good people who love film. --scott ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks
Re: [Frameworks] 35mm hand crank projector
Hi Ed! Although this seems like a really neat piece to start a project, I need something by the 20th in Boston and I can't pick up anywhere else. If you have any leads in the Boston area let me know, it would be greatly appreciated!
