[Frameworks] Full Coat Mag Reader?

[info]

Hello:
We recently acquired a collection of approximately 50 hours of 16mm neg
films with matching full coat mag elements.
We can transfer the film elements in house but need a full coat reader we
can record from and later synch up the sound with picture.
Does anyone know of any place were we could either purchase, rent or use  a
full coat reader in the SF Bay Area?
Someone recently told me that San Francisco State may be letting some
equipment like this go.
Any practical (non lab) advice appreciated.



Best regards,

Stephen Parr

Stephen:

Just curious as to what you are using to transfer 16mm negative in-house.  I 
was gobsmacked when someone on another list was running negative on an Elmo, 
which would render those negatives pretty unusable.  Obviously you aren't doing 
that.

You can often find 16mm dubbers on eBay, but remember you will need something 
that can be locked to either your scanner/telecine, or to video black.  Later 
stepper-drive Magnatechs (model numbers have 4 digits except for the 636A and 
B) are an affordable choice, but you will need an external box to reference 
them to video black, or a shaft encoder to slave them to your transfer device 
if you are going to a video format (vs. files from a scanner).  Otherwise you 
will have sync drift.

Best,

Jeff Kreines
