Oliver, who started this thread, seems to be active on the forum- so you could ask him what he used. The other problem is that film does shrink with age, but unless your film is more than about 10 years old it shouldn't be a problem. None of the film I handle on the Steenbeck is less than 25 years old and it has all shrunk by much more than the difference between long and short pitch. But of course that's not relevant to unexposed film unless it is very old. Edited September 27, 2022 by Mark Dunn

Not too bad for a 1966 camera... Ask and it will be given, it was said! I contacted that company and they sent me the complete 41 pages manual. Who is interested can ask me.
Marco Leoncino Posted September 28, 2022 Posted September 28, 2022 (edited) Here you are the manual. I had to compress it a lot because of the file limit. EDIT: the quality is so bad that I have to remove the attachment... sorry... Edited September 28, 2022 by Marco Leoncino
Steven Wyatt Posted March 25 Posted March 25 Can you still get double sided 16mm to run in this camera nowadays?

Yea, some distributors have done the minimum order for Kodak and are selling it at a premium above 1R film. Just gotta dig around, you'll find it. I think Frame 24 in the UK may have some too.

I used these for a few years a while back but never saw a manual. They are basically very simple cameras requiring a variable- voltage 16A power supply for the motor and a driver for the timing lights, which unless you have a very old model will be LEDs. It's not designed to run at a constant speed, it just takes off. You then synchronise the event you want to photograph with the instant it's running at the right speed. Do you have a control unit and leads, or just the camera? If the latter you are probably going to need a soldering iron and a lot of parts. I'd be happy to answer a few questions via PM on here.
