[Frameworks] rare editing equipment for sale

[John Woods]

Hi Frameworkers,

So I've been continuing to volunteer at selling various surplus film editing 
equipment for Cineworks, the Vancouver film co-op. Its been an up and down ride 
for the past 2 years, expanding our workspace to create an analog film center 
then losing part of our operating funding, then getting a massive equipment 
donation from Technicolor, then laying off two long term employees. Many thanks 
to those that bought stuff from me a few weeks ago. What I've got here is not 
likely to be of much practical interest to the average filmmaker and I think the 
shipping cost would be prohibitive to their practical value in this era of film 
editing. I'm looking for advice on who to approach (other than the local scrap 
metal dealer) that might be interested?


The big oddball items we've got:


A step/hot splicer for anamorphic 35mm - I don't know the real difference or 
reasons between this and a regular one but the splices are apparently thinner 
according to the retired neg cutter who last worked with it.

A LoKBox system - this is a Sony setup used for conforming negatives by using a 
videotape edit with burn in edge code. The monitor apparently is a 24fps CRT and 
is setup with a 3/4" deck and has two 35mm sync blocks that can connect to the 
system. I don't quite know how it all works and the neg cutter never trusted the 
system but used it as a visual back up to a paper EDL


Any advice appreciated!
