Hey, sorry it took me so long to get back to you. I have been out and about for quite sometime. Anyway, if you are still interested in the Moviolla parts my e-mail is bartok_m@yahoo.com or you can call me at (916)568-1988. Thanks.

I know, I feel horrible for taking it apart. But I really needed the base stand to use for a different project. I am just hoping that somebody out there that already has one of these can benefit from having the extra parts or somebody who has a project Moviola can take the parts of mine to rebuild theirs.

I just recently scrapped my Moviola M-77-16 so I now have a house full of parts. I removed all of the hardware and wiring so everything is still complete but not in the table anymore. All wiring was removed by unplugging from componants so no wires have been severed. I even have some of the mirrors needed for viewing the screen. The large mirror in the screen broke when I got the machine. What I am offering is basically the whole works for a hundred dollars or you can send me a parts list of what you need with a picture of the part and I can check to see if I have it, which I should. The individual parts will be 5-10 dollars depending on what the part is. Mostly I would like to sell all of it together because I don't want to store these pieces forever. But if you do want to buy some parts please don't just buy one fuse at a time or so. It will be cost beneficial to you to buy the entire part then to purchase a single fuse. I live in Sacramento so the easiest way to get this stuff is to actually come down in person to check it out. Some of the parts are heavy and will cost a lot to mail which I will not pay for. So if you have a Moviola M-77-16 and need parts or would simply just like to have the luxury of having spare parts then please contact me. I figure that most of these parts are probably extremely difficult to find since the machine is relatively old.

I just recently scrapped my Moviola M-77-16 so that I could use the base to mount an 8x10 enlarger to it. I completely dismantled the entire table and removed all of the hardware and wiring so everything is complete and no cords were cut. So basically I have a house full of Moviola parts that I can't use. I did not want to throw them away since they are probably extremely hard to find since the machine is relatively old and spare parts for these things are probably hard to come by. I am offering all of the pieces seperately for about five-ten dollars or you can by all of the Moviola guts for around a hundred dollars or so. If you are interested please contact me with a parts list that you might need as well as have a picture of what the part looks like and I can see if I have it. Unfortunately due to the weight of some of the items shipping will be semi costly so if you live in or near Sacramento I would reccomend that you come by and look at/pick up the parts in person. My e-mail is bartok_m@yahoo.com I hope that somebody out there has some use for this stuff because I really don't want to waste it.

Hello, I just recently aquired a moviola m-77-16 film editing table and know nothing about. I am even too afraid to plug the thing in to see if it works. I got it for free from somebody who wanted it out of thier garage. From what he told me, it had been used at least five or six years ago but the people that had it moved away and left it there. My main question would be where I can find some good printed material about the machine that might help me in mainting it and making sure if fucntions right and then after that I need to learn how to use it. Any suggestions would be great. Do people still use these things anymore ? Also, I was wondering if there was any way to determine how it was, the serial number on it is #160. thanks, matt-

This is a completely digitally done project that did to test before shooting it in 35mm or 16mm if I can't work with the 35mm the way I want to. This short basically illustrates the feel of what I want to do for the final project. And I do appollogise for the quality of the project, I had to limit it in size to beable to upload it to a site for people to download it. Thank you for viewing my work and criticism is more than welcome. http://rapidshare.de/files/13381293/projec...110101.mpg.html matt-

HI, I am just wondering if there are any differences between motion picture film and film used for still photography. I am thinking of making a stop-motion short film and if I could use a still camera it would save me lots and lots of money as well as I would have a lot more control over my image for doing such a low budget project. I have done the math as far as to how much film I would need. For 16 minutes of film time I would need 960 rolls of 24 exposure film, obviously each roll being equal to one second of film time. I would then splice together all of my footage from the negatives and then send in the final project to get printed so that I wouldn't have to pay for as much printing and such. I have no idea of this is going to work or not and I would greatly appreciate it if somebody could kind of tell me if I am out of my mind or if I am a penny pinching genius. And just as a side note, I would develope all of my film myself as I will mainly be using b\w film and have access to a dark room. And I will probably use Illford 400 speed b\w film because it comes in 36 exposures for roughly the same price as a roll of kodak. I just used the numbers for a roll of 24 exposures because it is easier to crunch the numbers. I am also considering buying bulk film that I would load myself making it possible to load upwards of 48 exposures per roll, although I don't have the equipment to do that at this time. Matt-

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately to the see the red dot means that I would have to take off the motor each time which is kind of a pain. I do think that if I can some how regulate the amount of voltage going into the motor I can somehow slow it down to a reasonable exposure time. I of course don't know too much about electricity and motors and such to know how to lower the amount of volts going into it.

I currently have in my possesion a Bolex h-16 SB with an attachable K-203 animation motor. I am wondering if can somehow "fix" either the camera itself or the motor to simulate the effect of a timed exposure function found on most still cameras ? My main goal with this camera is to do stop motion work and therefore having the shutter remain open for extended periods of time is quite desireable considering the fact that I don't have professional lighting as well as I like to shoot with an appaeture of around 16 to 22. The most simple way to acheive this would be to unplug the motor as it is half way through its cycle and thus leaving the shutter open until I plug it in again, but the camera isn't mine and I don't particularly want to damage the camera in anyway. I am also concerened with the fact that it would be a complete guess on my part as to when the shutter would be completely open. Any suggestions would be great and very much appreciated. I am getting ancy to film something as I have ten rolls of film sitting in the fridge waiting to be used. Thank you very much, Matt Bartok
