Tk35 metal piece gate (Filmbahneinsatz)

[Paolo]

Hallo Forum Member,

 

I'm Paolo and write from Italy, Sorry I don't speak german.

I'm new in this forun

 

I have a zeiss TK35 Film projector, I'm starting the restoration and adapting to use with actual film format.

My problem is the metal piece film gate (Filmbahneinsatz), is the opposed part of wooden film pressure.

When i bought the projector this part was missing, I found it on ebay.

The felt fabric is worn, I remove and clear the part but I don't know where i can find this tissue.

Where is someone that help me? or sell me a new film gate.

The wood pressure appear in good condition, some time ago a service center tell me that there is a procedure to renew the pressure, It is possible?

 

Thanks

 

Paolo

Vermutlich nicht. Er hat sich dafür entschuldigt, dass er nicht deutsch spricht.

Ich bin mal so frei und übersetze das:

 

Ich heiße Paolo und schreibe aus Italien, leider spreche ich kein Deutsch. Außerdem bin ich neu im Forum.

 

Ich habe einen Zeiss TK35 Filmprojektor, den ich restaurieren möchte um damit Film zu zeigen. Problematisch hierbei ist der metallene Filmbahneinsatz, das Teil gegenüber der Holzkufe.

Es war ursprünglich nicht dabei, als ich den Projektor kaufte, ich fand es nachher auf ebay.

Der Filz ist abgenutzt, den habe ich entfernt und das Teil gereinigt, nur weiß ich jetzt nicht, woher ich den Stoff wieder bekomme.

Kann mir da jemand helfen, oder vielleicht eine neue Filmbahn verkaufen?

Die Holzkufe scheint in gutem Zustand zu sein, vor einiger Zeit hat man mit in einem Service Center erzählt, man könnte die Kufe aufbessern. Ist das möglich?

 

Danke

@ Lichtton: Korrekt hieße das "geht's auch auf Deutsch?" ;-)

Hi,

After clearing some stuff with the bean counters lets come to the real things.

What you found on the gate was tape from velvet, commonly used in old projectors.

You might get it still from cinema suppliers, or sometimes old reels on ebay.

Today people use quite often nylon tapes instead (cable straps). Those work

excelent on Bauer and Erneman. I have no experiance with cable straps on TK.

But probably others have.

Hi

 

Thanks for the answer.

 

On the gate there was the velvet glued.

I don't understand the type of nylon tapes , is it tissue?

Paolo

[MichaelB]

No, cable straps

Cable straps won't work fine in the TK35. The filmgate is too short, so the Picture on the screen will jump a bit.

Hi,

Might be. I have no personal experiance with TK. There are other people here who

have plenty but unfortunately they do not seem to be able to respond in English.

Hi

 

Ok i understand, i suppose that the cable strap shall be glued on the rail of the film gate.

I tried to make a slice of teflon, the problem is that the teflon is impossible to glued on anything.

Why don't you use velvet ribbon again. It's cheap and you can buy it nearly everywhere. Every shop for knitware has velvet.

[Paolo]

Hi

 

I went to the knitwear shop with a piece of velvet of tk35.

The shop let me a piece of alcantara , is similar to velvet , alcantara is used to upholstery of cars.

At the test on tk35 after 20 minutes of projection it was consummate.

I notice that the pressure on the skates is heavy otherwise the projection is not stable.

I try to project without the velvet, smoothing the gate film rail , the projector works .

I have a cinemeccanica machine and Pion, these projectors don't have tissues , the guides are of steel.
