Wow! Had no idea. Roger seemed on the up and up when I dealt with him. But that was way back. Maybe 2017, can't remember.

Was Moviestuff the type of company that had lots of parts in stock to build machines or did they just get parts as needed to build orders?

Any other scanner companies showing signs of $$ troubles?

Tyler...it is a matter of beggars can't be choosers. When I bought one, I sold an old Harley Sportster for a couple thousand $, borrowed a couple of thousand $ from a family member and charged the rest on my credit card. It was a good option to get your feet wet with learning about cine' film scanning or for someone with a pile of family movies and just wants some scans and won't go for a Wolverine scanner.

I'm generally not into 35mm...too bulky and too $$. But recently someone had a small lot of 35mm home movies shot in Ireland from 1915 - late 1920's for sale. I could not afford most of them, but I did pick up one short from the collection; about a tourist group to the Blarney stone in 1928. The other films were similar in size and some of them were about early steam trains in Ireland. Tour groups still go to the Blarney stone to kiss the stone for the 'gift of gab.' The print looks to be a safety film dupe of the original nitrate...but just guessing. You can use the scan of the film for your website / experimentation / education / advertising / etc. Just no stock footage sales. I'll be glad to pay shipping both ways and would like a 4K scan. ProRes is OK. Here are some details on it... more people.... I kissed the old Blarney stone a few times. I used to go to Europe a lot back in the 1990's. I would go off-season in the winter. I could RT air for $229 - $299 for most European cities. Hotels were cheap in the off season too. This was before the internet was a big deal and all the kids were not overloading planes trying to buy experiences. Travel was cheap back then and you were not packed like sushi! GD...those were the days! I was headed to Hong Kong from Taiwan and 85% of the plane was empty. You could raise the arms of the seats and lie down on whole empty rows.

If interested write me direct at: w1000w@aol.com Here is seller's description... VERY RARE HISTORIC FOOTAGE ACTUAL 35MM FILM FOOTAGE, DEPICTING THE RAILROAD DEPOT / STATION IN BLARNEY, IRELAND, AND THE KISSING OF THE BLARNEY STONE, THERE ARE SOME GREAT SCENES, FILM IS MARKED IRELAND 1928 KISSING THE BLARNEY THE FOOTAGE IS SILENT. THE IMAGES ARE QUITE SHARP AND VERY WELL TAKEN, AS GOOD AN AMATEUR AS BEST AVAILABLE FOR THOSE DAYS, IT COMES IN A COUPLE OF STRIPS OF DIFFERENT LENGTHS, IT HAS A FEW SPLICES, ALL IN GOOD OVERALL CONDITION! SOME OF THE FILM HAS A YELLOWISH / ORANGE HUE BUT THE IMAGES ARE IN VERY GOOD CONDITION OVERALL. THE FILM DOES HOLD THE POSSIBILITY OF GETTING SOME NICE STILL PHOTOS FROM SOME OF THE IMAGES. THERE ARE MANY WONDERFUL SCENES, MANY OF THEM SHARP AND WELL TAKEN, SOME CLOSE-UP SHOTS AS WELL! MOST OF THE FILM IS SOLID AND IN VERY GOOD CONDITION OVERALL, BUT DUE TO AGE CAREFUL HANDLING IS STILL A MUST FOR THE ENTIRE FILM IN ORDER TO VIEW IT AND PRESERVE THE IMAGES! BASED ON THE SIZE OF THE ROLL, I ESTIMATE THE TOTAL RUNNING TIME OF THE CLIPS TO BE ABOUT 3-4 MINUTES OR SO RUNNING AT 18 FPS, EVEN THOUGH DID NOT COUNT THE ACTUAL NUMBER OF FRAMES.

Thanks Dan, good to know about that company. I never said eBay's listings are in working order or anything. Just said they were used. Looks like MMT makes a film scanner too. They have lots of crazy gear. I never knew they had video tape cleaners. Look at this machine for film printing.

That's impressive. What did he spend to build the scanner? Got any photos of it? I wasn't looking for wet gate scans, just wondering if the warped gates LG sells are worth the money. I think they are like $4,000 each for the Archivist. Don't know how much they are for their top end scanners. Even $4,000 seems like a lot for a little piece of metal.

I see they have separate gates for sound and silent. They are pretty pricey. Did you find them worthwhile for the price?

What was wrong with your earlier cleaning machines, Robert? San Lab Systems Prista 16mm 35mm Film Tape Reel Cleaning Machine | eBay Sidenote... eBay used to offer half-ass decent JPEGs as auction photos. Now they are pretty much all WEBP lo-res crap. I have an eBay archive with +/-40,000 images in it. Glad I grabbed what I did when they offered something better.

Wow, you've gone through a lot of gear over time, Robert. That is what is nice about being in biz. If you make mistakes and have a decent profit margin, mistakes can be absorbed under the guise of research and development. Do the machine cleaners, clean as well or better than hand cleaning, Robert?

Is the Kodak P-200 machine still being produced? Do these P-200 rollers hold up? Looks like they would deteriorate. The cleaner? B&H has it for $800 a can...special order. The machine itself looks pretty nice.

Thanks Simon.

Thanks Perry! Way, way out of my range. I never knew about them. Apparently, there is a decent market for used Lipsner-Smith machines. Lipsner-Smith film cleaner for sale | eBay What do you use for cleaning Perry?

Are you an import from Ireland Robert? Or do people call the bars, pubs in your local? Why do you have 2 of them? As backups or set up for different jobs? If you do lots of 8 and 16 work, I could see if you had 2 dedicated machines. With all those scanners out there, is it affecting your biz? I saw a scan company in TX that said they were closing up shop and selling things off, including their Lasergraphics scanner due to lack of biz.

Sure, selling scans by the foot is a great gig if you get the work. But I don't know if the market is getting flooded with scan studios thinking it is a money printing machine. I think archival work is a limited field. I mean the business model is all about old films that are not being produced any longer. I don't know how the market is for current 16mm production. Tyler is the person to ask about that. Me... If I had the $, I set up a shop with a couple of Scan Stations or Directors and offer it for use to indie filmmakers to use for free. But, most would not know how to use it, so I'd probably get stuck doing the scans, which I would not like doing. So that would be a problem with that idea. But everything always revolves around $. $ is stored energy. I would advertise on some film forums I'd do 16mm scans for free of archival material. I'd get a few broke filmmakers write me to ask for free scans of their film. I'd tell them I'm only interested in archival material. And the Retroscan would not be good for their project anyway.

Thanks Dan, but still not many used scanners around. Wow, lots of taxes with auctions and the UK. 20% buyer's premium for auction and that GST tax. (Looks like it varies in %) Scanner looked very clean.

Cinetech BSF HYDRA film cleaner...anyone ever use it? How much is it. Film Preparation — Galileo Digital The rollers in the center group remind me of paint rollers. As I investigated further the website lists them as...'soft nap Dacron buffers that can be adjusted to apply cleaning pressure to each side of the film independently.'

Thanks, didn't know that.

OK, thanks for the replies. I'm mainly on the still end and that is why I don't see it much.

Dunno, but never thought about Nikon when it comes to cine.' Seems an odd mix.

Well, too late to change the title. This was an ad in an amateur publication. So, it was directed towards amateurs as well as professionals. Do you have any literature from Auricon, Simon? If so, scan it and upload to the I.A.

Do archives use the Lasergraphics Director or is it overkill for 8mm and 16mm film?
