I am looking for a crystal sync motor for my Arriflex 16ST 16mm camera. Motors of interest: Tobin TCS TXM-17 Tobin TCS TXM-22 aka. TXM-22A "Georg Jensen Model 504" as seen in this Filmboy24 YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lb5j2QczfZQ&pp=ygUKI3NyaXZhYXJyaQ%3D%3D A motor made by ARRI named "ARRI A 16 St E" as seen in this YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpdsCr5zZwA If none of the above can be found; a custom built crystal sync motor as mentioned by this user: https://cinematography.com/index.php?/forums/topic/75086-tobin-motors-for-arri-16s-shoulder-brace/#findComment-596198 If the motor also comes with a power cable and working battery pack + charger I regard that as a bonus but not necessary for my interest. And before anyone asks; yes I am aware of the Pluriboom crystal sync motor but it does not meet my requirement of being able to use the camera's own start/stop switch: https://pluriboom.com/ Shipping: In regards to shipping any potential buyer must be able to send it to me in Sweden. If you have a motor that is any of the above mentioned models please reply directly to this post or DM me with details.

I've asked around, read the manual, read online, called techs, and still can't get a straight answer on this one. I have an Eclair NPR with the Beala (Beauviala) crystal motor .. the manual states if the light goes on, sync is achieved and if the light is off, sync cannot be guaranteed. Elsewhere I see the exact opposite, and that the light is a warning that sync has been lost. I know this is because of the other motors that were made afterwards having different specs, but can anyone please tell me what the truth is on this one? Thank you!!

For sale here is one of Tobin's last (newest) Variable Speed motors ever made for the Arri 16S or 16M. Runs forwards or reverse, 0-50 fps. This was bought new directly from Tobin and has only been run to test a couple of times. More information from the Tobin website (a pdf download link) http://www.tobincinemasystems.com/TCS_Public_PDF/TM23.pdf Please see my other listings, I'm moving and selling a bunch of gear. Available for only $260! Available for pick up in West Hollywood through this Saturday. For convenience, preference will be given if there is a buyer in the LA area who will pick up in person and pay cash.
