Author Topic: Century 35mm Only Mag Penthouse? Stephen Furley Film God Posts: 3059 From: Coulsdon, Croydon, England Registered: May 2002 posted 02-16-2008 04:45 AM                     quote: Steve Guttag Why Louis? In truth, SVA was a pretty piss-poor alternative to 4-track. Had VKF been the standard sprocket, sendust heads (Teccon) and Dolby NR rather than some stupid pilot tone...4-track could have had a much longer life. Unfortunately, the pieces did not come together until after 4-track had a bad name for being expensive and somewhat problematic. All of those things would have given you a better mag system, but wouldn't have made the prints any cheaper.  |  IP: Logged Ben Wales Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 602 From: Southampton.

BTH also produced one for the Super 2 Projector range.  |  IP: Logged Phillip Grace Expert Film Handler Posts: 164 From: ACMI. Melbourne. Australia.

It had a pair of mounting holes on top and another on the bottom at the standard Simplex upper magazine bolt hole pitch. The feed magazine is offset towards the lamphouse when mounted on top of the mag head.  |  IP: Logged
