I wonder if your ex-Cintel colleagues could be persuaded to write down some of their memories for prosperity? There’s bags and bags of stuff about vtr (always seen as much more glamorous!) but precious little about telecine.

The MkII on the site you link too (very last picture) is exactly as I remember it. The second to last picture (a MkI) was like the ones I worked on except the two rhs cabinets did not exist and were replaced by the operational desk I referred to in my earlier post, it was butted up against the two lhs cabinets. The desk consisted of a top part (monitor and very limited operational controls), a middle part that was essentially just a script ledge and a lower part that contained additional electronics and accessory modules ( I’m thinking of the optional aperture correctors etc).


I’d be really happy to volunteer to assist your team on your projects but Lincoln is simply too far to be practical I’m afraid.
