Is anybody work with MEO5 what has got macrosystem sound head, that i know is reverse scan reader but they called like that.

I work with couple of MEO5, but all they have normally front scan reader, so if some one have work with macrosystem what are quality of that system?

Far i know is got H3 halogen lamp as light source.

Also if someone have pic's of that please upload it!!!

Also are there space in lamp holder? This is interesting because if it is there can be easily convert to red light for cyan track.

And off course mostly I'm interested is quality of system.

I don't think I have ever seen that system. Maybe you should also post your question on the German projectionists' forum. I think it is more likely that you find people there who have seen one since the Meo was of course the standard machine in East Germany. They also have extended galleries where you might find a picture. It should be OK if you post in English.
