Buy your own Telecine

Here's one way to save on video transfers--or even start your own business. A facility in LA is selling off a complete Rank Mark III with a new CTR head and DVinci color corrector on eBay. They've split it into three separate auctions for some reason but the Buy It Now prices put the whole deal at $11,500. Add a couple of decks and some monitors, vectorscope, timecode reader and other support gear and you can have a functional setup for around $20,000 - $25,000. Charge people $.10 ft/16mm & $.05 ft/35mm or $100/hr. supervised and you'll clean up--probably make back your money and be in profit in a couple of months. Go nuts.

Then you can use it to finance you own indie--or the rest of your life.
