Hello all,

I am going to transfer very old 35 mm optical sound rolls.

I am constructing a reproducer to do it that is using idler rollers from a telecine,

so that the film will be only touched on the edges.

Drive sprocket is adjustable to allow for shrinkage.

My Magnatech deck (highly modified) uses a good wow and flutter damper with two dancer arms.

I am going to replace the two idler rollers with telecine PTR rollers.

That way the film only touches rubber.

Question:

Where can I get the PTR rollers that are about 1 1/4 inch diameter?

I need two sets of rollers, and two mounts.

(Not the 3 inch Kodak ones.)

I have both mono and stereo PEC cells, into 3 Jensen mag preamps (converted to optical.)

Universal Audio 2192 converters.

Logic Pro for 192K sound files.

Tension servos are adjustable to stop at any warble larger than a splice for safety.

Thanks for any help

and all suggestions are welcome,

Pete Barth
