  • OT: Magnasync Moviola help

    Posted by Pepo Razzari on December 14, 2008 at 5:49 pm

    Hi people.
    Been using final cut since version 2 and now in version 6, I dont see much room for improvement in basic editing, so I scratched my head and tought, whats next.
    It was then that I bumped into this Magnasync 16mm upright moviola.
    All lights and motors work, and picture looks exelent, problem is me. I dont know what should be the right way to threaad the film, and at wich point of the loop should it be easier to make edits. I would also like to use sound and I have acces to a perforated-tape recorder.
    I hope some will have some tips to share or maybe know a webpage where I can find some information, I have not been able to find one.
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Pepo

    Thanks Steven. I will see if I can have the manual sent all the way to Argentina. Have to register a credit card, etc, etc.
    The machine doesnt need parts for now, hope it remains this way. Still, I think a lamp can always be replaced and a motor rewond. If not, I better dont burn one.
    Thanks again
