Posts: 12814 From: Annapolis, MD Registered: Dec 1999 posted 08-17-2009 10:31 PM                     We just have LaVezzi supply them as a "hardcoat"...never had a problem.  |  IP: Logged Jeremy Weigel Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1062 From: Edmond, OK, USA Registered: Mar 2007 posted 08-20-2009 04:35 PM                     Hey Steve, Do you have any of these in stock? If so, PM with a price. LaVezzi can do the hardcoat finish, but for only 2 sprockets it will run me close to $500 each and these readers aren't even worth that much. And for what its worth I have already reversed the sprockets last year or so.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

Posts: 12814 From: Annapolis, MD Registered: Dec 1999 posted 08-21-2009 05:46 PM                     We are out of stock on them (not too much demand anymore).

Carol at LaVizzi asked if I wanted her to check if it could be made out of any other metal since I told her I was advised that the bare aluminum was too soft and would get grooves cut in it from the film. Since I'm no expert on sprockets do you guys have any suggestions on a metal type(s) to get a quote on?  |  IP: Logged John Hawkinson Film God Posts: 2273 From: Cambridge, MA, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 08-22-2009 02:54 AM                     Perhaps LaVezzi can tell you the last company to place a big order and you could see if they've got any left. --jhawk  |  IP: Logged Jeremy Weigel Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1062 From: Edmond, OK, USA Registered: Mar 2007 posted 08-22-2009 06:49 PM                     That's a good idea too.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-22-2009 07:22 PM                     Claco may have a few Sony sprockets left on the shelf but I'm not 100% sure. To get custom sprockets made is extremely expensive for just a few. The first six might cost you 500.00 each then at a dozen the cost per unit may go down to half of that and so on for the more you have produced. If you have hundreds made it actually gets to be pretty reasonable. Mark  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

But to get a 1 or 2 piece can indeed be pricey.
