Default Re: Rank Cintel TK

There's some more bumph here:

I'll see if I can take some pics of my Mk II - it's not very accessible and in a rather haphazard state awaiting 'one day'. It's all there and lots of spares too, including CRTs, PMTs and gates.

Curious thing is that I now work with what was left of the old Rank Cintel electronics team. For the last 20 years they've morphed into very high-end DLP projector design electronics and I've been working with them as a consultant for nearly ten years. Cintel seems to keep bounding back at me . . .

In the meantime, the Marconi Line Array is very nice - all digital processing which for the very early 80s was pretty good going.

The B3404 'fish fryer' soldiers on and I do like it. The Cintel Mk III is awaiting a bit more time too. The bulk of it works but the film transport snaps film.

Always looking for help on our projects - Lincoln area.

Best regards,
