Thank you for the pictures! To me it shows, that the cable is B- Type with the pins inverted. The blue stripe is in both connectors pointing to the top, but since the connector of the control board is upside- down, relative to the cable the contacts are opposite. Please tell me if I see it...

I damaged the terminals of the 10 pin cable, joining the control board to the processor. I tried to reconfigure the contacts but did`n t suceed. Now I have ordered new cables. Can somebody tell me wether the straight connection (contacts on the same side, Type A) or the inverse one (Type B) is...

yes

Yes I also greased these, everything in there. Thank you for the video, I have never seen it working.

It`s the rear cover of the unit. By no means should the aera of the film guide get into contact with grease of any kind. Tis includes the transport hook. At the bottom of the mechanic, between the two solid metal plates you see a slot on the side and I think there is a second slot on the top...

I only took off the cover and inserted plastic friendly grease through the holes of the trasnsport mechanism. In a recent regraesing, which was necessary, I used silikon Spray as well. But this was katastrophic. - it went everywhere also towards the light source. I had to disassemble everything...

Watch my reply to noisy scanner from Dec 6, 2025 in the previous forum.

I `m using Version A77. Old Kodak Chrome film from e.g. 1947 may need modification of colours in editing, There is too much green. I use Vegas pro 20.

Thank you for your contribution to improve the Kodak Reels! I just finished the lowering of the standard lens and at the right corner the machine says "Res 1264x948" The most delicate work was the cabling. The ones of the fan broke off and I soldered them back on, because the conector is so...

Average bitrate of the scan is 33000 kBit/sec. The enclosed sample scan is stored in HD- Format with a bitrate of 19000kBit/sec. It has been created with Vegas pro 20 with "Neat Video" plug- in, using noise reduction amount of 15%. For my filmtransfers Neat Video is an essential tool. -> HD-...

By the way: I use Qp of 16 and it works fine. Sometimes it stops after an unpredictable number of frames. Can be as high as 17`000. Update on 8 of January 2026: Meanwhile I established a Qp of 22. With this setting the scanner goes through large Reels without stopping.

After scanning varios Kodahchrome films, here are my white balance numbers: 321,176,145. No blue snow and no reddisch faces any more. Thank you OdanO!

I use vaseline or Plasic friendly grease, which I have from model helicopter gear.

Sensationell! Ich habe gerade ein paar Minuten Super 8 mm Film mit der A 7.4 Firmware eingescannt. Dies mit folgenden Werten: WB 464,240,256; ev +2; Qp 15; Iso A. Zudem schreibe ich hier auf Deutsch, weil ich unter Google Chrome Deutsch gewählt habe. Mich nimmt jetzt wunder, ob der Beitrag...

Thank you for the rapid reply. I can live with these conditions and I think I will stay with your firmware. The advantage is worth it.
