Anyone have a picture of a Kelmar mounted to a FP20?
Ill be running 2 & 6k reels ( no film transport ) need to get creative finding a way to mount the film cleaner. Looking for ideas?
I have a unit without a door with a turret.

Thanks guys.

Alan, I can't find my picture of the setup, but what you need is one of the platter tree brackets (I have two available) and a plate of aluminum to mount a Kelmar to FP-20. I made the plate the height of the bracket (about 6" I believe) and about 6-8 " deep.

With a helper, I held the cleaner on this assembly in position (With film threaded for alignment) and drilled two holes into the face of the projector and mounted them with 1/4-20 flathead bolts.

Come to think of it, I may have the plates too. I will be going back to the room next week and will double check.

Hi Tony thanks for the helpful reply. Ill sit tight until next week. I would really like to incorporate the cleaner if at all possible to benefit from the use of Film Guard.

Thanks again.
