That's a pretty old system, if I remember. But you are in luck because the vice-president of Xetron/Nuemade posts here and would be glad to help out. Call (203) 270-1100.

Thanks Mr. Walsh,
Looking forward to replys, Yeah I know that this system is on the older side, bur reel to reel is still favourable in some situations, and transport for films between our small circuit is greatly facilitated, we still feel that the 'large reel ' film shipment that was supposed to be implemented a few years back was abandoned too quickly! thanks
Tom

Whew!
I guess a xetron walt system must be so old or scarce that nobody remembers or as seen them?

I haven't seen one. Could you post a picture of it?

The concept of the unit is like an Eprad DoubleMut....just wall mounted.....I have only seen two....one at the old Xetron factory and one we left in a booth......
