That must be it! Who knew. I am in the process of moving all the sites from the existing server (OpenVMS!) to a Unix server and that would make it easier to get the proper certificates, I'll look into that. Duncan

Ah - I see the OP is from Germany, and I've had weird problems before with people anywhere in Germany reaching my server. Try this: https://betlikeduncan.pairsite.com/16mm/constant_speed_motor_24fps_teardown/ Duncan

The page still works for me, does it not for you? http://backglass.org/duncan/arri/constant_speed_motor_24fps_teardown/ My motor, with the eternal transistor, has the screw that holds the knob on, so that part may not be much help to you anyway. Duncan

I’m on the road still for thanksgiving and there was a ton of snow in Chicago while we were away so maybe something went wrong (it’s a server in my basement). I’ll check it out this evening when I get home.

What a beauty! Duncan

My little server doesn't have a security certificate so some browsers/ISPs will warn that it's "unsafe" but should still let you go there. (It's not unsafe...) But maybe some just block anything not https: whatever Duncan

Like I've done for a few other makes and models, I've scanned the owner's manual for the LTR 7. You can get the high res version here: http://backglass.org/duncan/aaton/aaton_7ltr_instruction_manual.pdf Or the 100dpi version here (downloads quicker!) http://backglass.org/duncan/aaton/aaton_7ltr_instruction_manual_100.pdf Enjoy! If I run across other Aaton docs I'll scan them and add them to this thread. Duncan

I have just the outer hood piece if by some miracle you run across just the inner one and need the other half... Duncan

Well, darn for Gabriel then! The offer stands for anyone that can use this connector. Duncan

OK here is what I have. JUST the connector, with the wires sticking out. With some work you could lash together a power cable, but it obviously wouldn't have proper strain relief. I've been assuming this is a IIA or later connector, since it's much bigger than a 16S connector, but I included a shot with a ruler so you could try to figure out if it matches your motor connector. If so, and you want it, PM me your mailing address and I'll send it to you, free of charge. (It's not doing me any good!) Duncan

Haha yeah good point, the ultrawides don't play well with others on a turret. Hope you have two port caps for the other holes 🙂 Duncan

eBay and lots of patience are your friend. I MAY have a cord that would fit that - I bought it as a 16S cord and it turns out the IIA pins are much bigger. I'll try to look this weekend. Duncan

There's your power connector. If it's like the 16S, the pins are different sizes. That other connector just looks like a run of the mill BNC connector, usually for carrying signals of some sort, not power. Duncan

And now an Arri-B Angie 5.9 shows up on ebay too - they're everywhere all of a sudden! https://www.ebay.com/itm/236198604963 Duncan

We'll expect pictures here of the finished product! Duncan
