... Maybe a good title for a film book would be "Yellowstone Babies at Christmas," since that seems to be what 80% of home movies contain: Yellowstone, babies...
greetings, how about a catalogue of small gauge film archives and a narrative from each about its history, struggles, hopes, etc. it can all be updated on a...
A collective effort would be great. We can contribute info regarding the original Super8 Sound Double System Products and equipment modifications from 1972 to...

anybody ever used a KODAK PRESSTAPE UNIVERSAL SPLICER, 8MM, SUPER 8 & 16 MM? i´m about to buy me one and wanted to know how is it. thanks, Pablo Marin Buenos...
Pablo- those press tape things drive me NUTS!!! I suggest the "Ciro" tape splicer aka." Guillotine".. they are made in Italy and are super high quality.....
... To each his own...I use the splicer mentioned below and I like it OK. You see them pretty often on eBay, and I wouldn't pay much more than $20 for one. MWW...
I despise press tapes for anything other than repair. I personally cement splice for my own work, but when it comes to archival films or other people¹s films...
I agree that those Kodak presstape splicers are junky in about every aspect---they don't cut well; the tapes are huge, covering something like four (or is it...
use the HAMA it uses the wurker tape the best ever made you can get wurker in 2 & 4 fram going from Kodak to Ciro is not an improvment and Hervice is no...
If you are talking about that crazy spring-loaded Hama splicer, my experience is that it tends to go out of alignment due to the crazy spring-loaded moving...
There is no spring in my Hama. It is very simple with a Razor cut but it does have a flip device so you can put the tape on both sides easily. $35.00 . I...

... I've got one on my desk right now that I'm ready to throw across the room. One of the little (molded plastic) teeth is broken, making it a frustrating job...
I have to second Tom's recommendation. You have to pry my Ciro out of my cold hands. I just had mine reconditioned and I swear it is better than new....
I've followed up with Karen Gracy, one of the coordinators of the AMIA book publishing task force. She says that for the Nov. 15th deadline (that's Tuesday!),...
I second Rhonda's recommendation of the Hama tape splicer--it is super-nifty. It's lightweight without being flimsy, makes clean cuts, and the hinged flip ...
It was pointed out that the co-chair election is on the agenda at both the beginning and end of the Tuesday meeting. That was the result of me copying and...
I think this is a better idea, a kind of casebook of small gauge specific issues, including historical studies of neglected topics which are of course useful...
