Goldberg Bros. 35mm Film Winder.....?
In article . com, MTM wrote: Hello.........NG Anyone know anything about A: Goldberg Bros. ( Denver Col. ) model B... 35mm Film Winder/Re-Winder.....? It is intended to be used for motion picture film in a projection booth. You put a full 2000' reel (just removed from the lower magazine of the projector) on the left spindle, an empty one on the right spindle, and move the lever on the top to the left and the thing will rewind the film for you. There is an auto-stop mechanism which wlll stop the motor when the left-hand reel stops spinning. While the previous reel is rewinding, you thread the next reel into the projector (meanwhile,the film continues on the second projector). Many older theatres have these and some still use them. You can actually buy a brand-new one (at an insane price) from Goldberg. The concept is nice, but the motor only runs at a single speed and these things tend to cinch the film at startup, causing scratches. These are largely useless in multiplexes, which invariably use platter-type projection system (where all the reels of the film are spliced into a continuous strand and the film rewinds as it plays-- think of an 8-track tape or broadcast cartridge; most platters aren't endless loops, but they do feed from the center of the roll). |
