Slightly off topic, but in addition to the guide rollers, where would you mount the cleaner using a typical 2000' reel arm machine (Eiki EX-3500 xenon)? I thought of fooling around with one when I was using a pair of older 1500's with 5000' reel arms where there was lots of room, but I'm somewhat stumped with the short reel arms.

Neumade's 35mm rollers have a 16mm notch in the center. They can be changed out to replace both of the 1" rollers on the cleaner/bracket. However you will find this really isn't necessary. No way will those rollers stop turning.Jeff, you will have to build yourself a cleaner stand. It can be made easily out of wood and screws. Get a piece of wood perhaps 1 foot by 2 feet for the projector to sit on. At the front of the board (in an appropriate place), mount a 2x4 vertically that has the cleaner mount on top of it. If you want, now's the perfect time to add a place to mount your anamorphic. The idea here is that the cleaner needs to be higher than the projected image, but out in front of the supply reel. The film pulls off of the reel forward into the cleaner, then out of the cleaner at a slight downward angle into the projector (as if the projector was constantly receiving the film from a full reel).
