I'm selling my 16mm Arriflex 16M camera with 3x 400' mags and variable speed motor. Camera was purchased from forum member Tim Carroll maybe 2-3 years ago if I remember right. I had it checked out by a technician and shot a registration test after I got it and it checked out fine. I like the 16M for it's hinged door, simple threading and gear-driven mags (as opposed to the 400' mags for the 16S which have their own separate torque motor).
Please see, I'm also selling a beautiful fiberglass blimp that will fit this camera, and crystal-sync motors.
I don't have a case for the camera but there is a case for the mags.

Consider this a listing for a great Tobin Crystal TXM-22 motor.
It comes with a camera, but just think of that as a bonus since the camera may not be worth a whole bunch. I've never shot with it, or with the included mags. I bought it off Craigslist from a DP/Operator on the other side of the country about a year or two ago and one technician who looked at it told me some of the design choices in converting this camera to S16 looked risky and shooting with it may not be worth the risk. I've heard this is one of two or three 16S cameras converted to S16/PL mount by Van Diemen in the UK. It seemed to run fine and the previous owner promised he shot lots of footage on it with no problems so maybe I'm just being paranoid.
But! It came with this awesome motor. I actually like it better than the final refinement, the TXM-22A, since the "A" model can't run in reverse.
Also included are two of the rare 200' mags for the 16S, although as I mentioned, I never tested them, so this is all "AS IS". There are also two 400' 16S mags. Each mag has it's own torque motor, and I was told by the person I bought these from that they've all been upgraded to be 12V compatible.
There is no case for the mags. The camera body case is a bit old looking but still latches closed firmly. The foam is a bit of a mess. No power cables or batteries or lenses are included.

For convenience, preference will be given if there is a buyer in the Los Angeles area who will pick up in person and pay cash.
Please send me a private message if interested in any of the above.
Thanks for looking!

Hi Bjorn,

 

Sorry, I've just noticed your reply. I didn't see the "follow this topic" option when I created this. I've just sent you a message to follow up and checked the "follow this topic option".

 

I am still selling these items if anyone is interested.

 

Thanks!

 

Rich

Hey Richard, haven't been on here in years. I see you still have this gear, and I see you are now an Industry Rep, who you working for?

 

Sent you a PM about the motor and the Franken-16S.

 

Best,

-Tim

Thanks for the interest! Replies sent.

 

I've been an industry rep for over eight years now. I'm a Camera Rental Agent, but I'm not here on the forum to represent my company. It was just the best descriptor for what I do... but I likely will be getting more involved just because cinematogrpahy is something that's always interested me. Maybe I'll change that descriptor so I don't need to worry about anything I write being interpreted as possibly representing my employer's views... I've been reading the forum for years.
