Is Cinemecannica still making 35mm projectors and parts? Are they the last ones? Their website does not really say much. If not who in North America still sells parts for Vic 5's and 8's? Jack Roe?

Thanks in advance.

Doubt very much they are but I imagine they could still put a V5 together for you if you were willing to pay. I would say Jack Roe are your best bet for parts. Kinoton and Strong are no longer in the film business. Not sure about the other minor European manufacturers ? Any one else know?

Ok so everyone is out of projector manufacturing game then? If so I better start stocking up on used parts for Vics then.

What about Ernemann? They list four current models on their website: http://www.ernemann.com/eng/products/models.html
The latest (E18) was apparently introduced in 2007. I've never actually seen a modern Ernemann though.

Why not email them and find out. Note, Kinoton came out with their Reference/Premiere line of projectors in 2007 too. I suspect, like every other projector manufacturer, their sales have tended towards zero and thus had to cease operations.
