As it says. We have a FP38D that still has an old white light mono sound cell on the 35mm side. What options do I have regarding getting a new stereo redlight LED sound reader on this machine? Thanks

I don't think Kinoton DCS has any RSSD readers (they would be NOS, if they do). I'd bet Sam at BACP probably has enough parts to make one and I'm sure Kelmar could set you up too. I don't recall Component Engineering making one for Kinoton.

I do have analog readers for most Kinoton projectors. I would need a closeup picture of the sound head area to know for sure.

Here are the pictures Sam.

It is an FP20 style sound head for my purposes. RSTR2000KK is the model # of the reader. Contact me directly or you could be buy from Cinematronix in your neck of the woods.
