Doug Palmer Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 You may have seen this at http://www.cinematography.com/index.php?showtopic=76670&hl= So although it's free to a good home, do bear in mind there's work to be done on this editor to get it operational. I simply haven't got the time at present to do anything on it. And it's taking up valuable space in my small shop here in Bridport, Dorset UK. This was formerly used by Raj Kothari who previously worked on 'Gandhi'. If you remember, his father was the gentleman who cajoled Richard Attenborough to keep his 20 year film-dream alive, though I think he didn't live to see it actually made. Raj himself sadly died last year. Coming back to the Schmid, I think it probably has been in storage for a long time and maybe needs fresh oil etc. I had a brief look at the switches and couldn't see anything obviously wrong. Machine runs forward but not backward. Speeds work OK. Only two of the sprocket drives work, those of the sound tracks. So if you're interested in getting this going again, let me know. My email is doug@filmisfine.co But remember, it's entirely up to you to collect ! I won't be shipping it anywhere ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Palmer Posted May 16, 2018 Author Share Posted May 16, 2018 (edited) I should say that I haven't tested the sound channels for play-back either. All 'as is'. Edited May 16, 2018 by Doug Palmer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Palmer Posted July 12, 2018 Author Share Posted July 12, 2018 A final reminder ! As nobody seems interested I'll be dismantling it soon, and most will find its way to the local dump. So maybe your next car will contain Schmid steel or aluminium... ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Palmer Posted July 26, 2018 Author Share Posted July 26, 2018 (edited) Rescued ! Someone has taken it and hopefully make it work OK again :rolleyes: Thanks folks. Edited July 26, 2018 by Doug Palmer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Dunn Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 (edited) Good to hear. A chap who supplied me with some Steenbeck parts had to turn the chassis into a garden planter :( Every time a flatbed dies, a film god cries.
