Have very recently added this to my long play collection,until I saw it I had not seen the likes of it before,maybe someone else on here has got this system would like more info.
This is I believe an Elf ? Long play system consisting of a take off come rewind arm,and a take up arm.Both are independently driven by motors attached to the arms,the take off being controlled via a toothed type belt.The rewind speed is incredible never seen anything so fast on 16mm.
For now I have both arms on a long piece of wood because as you can see they fold down for storage.(thank goodness)
When you add a projector ,thIs one was for the photo only,and two large reels the whole thing is Big.!!!.
This is a work in progress which I have started but I am not sure about the wood base.Also because it's so big thought has to be given on where to put the whole lot when made up to shop a film,not for the faint hearted this one.
Because it's independent motors can I ask does anyone use anything to clean electric motors,some sort of spray,and no I don't mean water.
Here are some pics from its folded position to what it will be like with a projector and film in the future,
Anyone else got one like it?

Sorry the pics are small and don't give the best perspective of the arms but it's so damn big trying to get a decent photo.����
