Equipment collection from Tamworth

We went down to Tamworth on a bit of a rush job to collect some kit left to us by a film collector. We had to get the equipment out before a house clearance company moved in. Having seen pictures, I saw lurking in the background in the garage a complete Powers machine with stand, it was what they call a "barn find" I suppose.


Rob Younger, Peter England and Dion Hanson headed down there and we also collected some other nice equipment, such as a pair of Siemens 16mm machines with one being a double head model.


The other two pieces were basically a MovieStuff 16mm telecine machine, and a Retroscan 8/9.5/16mm single frame scanner. The latter requiring a computer and software to run it, so some research to do there.
