What all will I need to mate a BX80 to a MI9030 sound head?
And where can I find them?
Thanks!

Should be able to get the brackets you need from Wolk.

That’s sounds good but typically what all would I need?
I am sure that there is an adapter plate of some sort then there is the issue of the drive gear between the BX80 and sound head and the shaft that the gear rides on.

You'll need the mounting plate that mates the BX-80 to the soundhead and you'll need the drive gear and drive shaft assembly. Just tell the folks at Wolk that you want the shaft assembly, drive gear and the fibre drive gear for the Brenkert...everything that sticks in the hole and the drive gear that goes with it. They'll know what you want. The whole thing is held in place by a LONGggggg lock nut that sticks out from the back of the projector. It's the "2400" assembly...X 2403 shaft, X2434 drive gear and I think the fibre gear is the X 2436. They'll know, believe me. Have your credit card handy.

Thanks John.P.S. Don't laugh too hard at the packaging for your reel.
Couldn't find a box to fit it.

The reel arrived with nary a bend or scratch, thanks to the multiple layers in which it was nestled. I hope you'll post a picture of that BX-80/9030 combination when it's finished.
