While we are at the subject talking reverse scan, is there a reverse scan kit made for the DP70/Norelco projector?

>>"While we are at the subject talking reverse scan, is there a reverse
scan kit made for the DP70/Norelco projector?"<<Yes!!! And the manufacturer is .... Kinoton!! An end-user discovered that if he took their standard basement reader and flipped it upside-down, it would work in the DP-70. Kinoton has adopted the idea and now offers it as an upgrade.
I know of another manufacturer that is working on basement reader for the DP-70 as well but hasn't finished it yet.
This presumes you want Dolby Digital since the DP-70 has been reverse scan since it's inception. Ultra-Stereo makes a JAXLIGHT for it if you just want the red LED fiasco.

You could try Component egineering or contact Kinoton,There are a lot of Bauers mostly U3s and a few U4s in use here in Australia(I have spent a few years sweating over a Bauer, good machine)and I believe that Kinoton now make spares for bauers,just a thought.------------------

Funny, I just checked Kelmar's website and it says that kit # AT-1298 is for the Bauer U3 AND U4 projectors.

Call the Naro Expanded Cinema in Norfolk, VA. They have a pair of U-2s (the big green ones with the square reel magazines). As they explained it to me, they had to convert to LED reverse-scan because the exciter bulbs for those projectors were no longer available. I believe that the cost was about $800 per machine.

I noticed that you also live in Belgium.
Have you already tried ARC in Brussels ?
I know that one of their technicians, Marcel Fontaine, has already made some LCD reverse scans for the Bauer B12 and B11.
Maybe he has done it also for the Bauer U4.
Are you having trouble with the analog reader ?
