Well, Joe, that was the original idea. I'm just going to do the shop work myself (which means the quantities can't get too high or I'll get bored).I don't know quite how "improved" I'm going to go for...I guess it depends on whether someone hits on an improvement that's sufficiently easy to construct and not too time-consuming. But certainly I can make a bunch of 35mm and 16mm dies and scribers, yup. --jhawk

In small quantities, we have the Clint Phare scribers (the actual scriber).I know we would be interested in 16 and 35mm cuers...and possibly some 70mm. Steve ------------------

I'll have to go measure out our 16mm die and see how deep the slot is and soforth.
John, FWIW, the 16mm Clint Phare marker I've seen (painted red, instead of black) are the same size as the 35mm version, except for the position of the registration pin. The cue marker holes look to be in the same position, too, or very close. If you marked a 16mm print in the 4 holes as it was, the cue flashed on the screen every other frame, 4 times. I always marked two, then moved the film up one frame and made the other two, so they would be on consecutive frames. ------------------

Thanks, Tim, yes, ours is like that as well. What I was unsure about was the depth of the slot that needs to be cut from the center region of the die to the right-hand-side. This depth is a function of the horizontal position of the cues, and perhaps some arbitrary design decisions. I'll measure it later today...I do have a question about the 16mm die though. It seems odd that the width of the slot does not bind the film like the 35mm version. Is there some intended purpose here? Such as marking cues on 35mm film that is going to be slit to 16mm? [That seems incredibly implausible.] As for 70mm, I don't have one of those, and have no application. We'll see how it goes for 16mm and 35mm, and perhaps I might be willing to do some 70 if someone wants to give me specs... --jhawk
