I am wondering if you can use a platter with a 35 mm telecine.
Where would you need to place the guide rollers?
Is there anything else you need to do to prevent any annoying
problems?

Modern telecines have built-in film transports. The film is often shuttled back and forth at high speed during the process of setting color correction parameters for each scene by the "colorist". Platters are used by theatres to minimize film handling for prints that are shown repeatedly, and would offer no real advantage for telecine use.------------------

The telecine projector couldn't care less where the film comes from just remember that most use reel servos that will ramp up to very high speed if left unthreaded. Also most have a loop setting that turns the reels off

Also, remember that you can't roll backwards on a platter, as most telecines can do when setting color correction and basic level parameters.
