Two of these showed up at Community Thrift in San Francisco a few weeks ago, and I picked one up yesterday. American Cinematographer in 1986 says: Seems like this was used in the 80s to print CGI to film! Looking inside, I saw a 2-phase stepper motor with what appears to be a glued-on optical encoder. The magazine feed and takeup are driven by Japan Servo 5000rpm DC motors with 10:1 gear reductions. There do not seem to be an actual computer inside - this is good! With a bit of help and experimentation, I can probably recreate the original controller, which I don't have, with a common MCU. Anyone ever worked with one of these, or have any docs for it? Here is the camera. Is it actually the PC-35 described in ASC mag? What kind of magazine does it take? A standard 400ft Mitchell?

Hello, I'm new here. I am looking for an Oxberry 35mm controller for an Oxberry 35mm camera used with a film recorder system. The one I have has just died and is pretty old. Picture attached. Perhaps you know of one gathering dust in some post house, looking for a good home? Would love to find a replacement. Thanks, Scott
