Sure, but what makes the stepper motor stop at a particular position? The pin moving into the sensor and breaking the infrared beam maybe? Perhaps test this by adding some black electrical tape (or something that wouldn't allow infrared to pass through it) to the end of the pin to make it a...

Looks like you'll have to get creative. At this point, I'd remove the plastic flag/pin, drill out the holes in the bracket slightly oversize, enough to allow adjustment. Put it back together with some small lock washers under the screws. Adjust flag/pin right or left as needed. I hope there are...

Kodiak - I hope I have an easy fix for you. It might be parallax in the photo, but your gray flag seems attached off center to the metal bracket. My flag is perfectly centered. I think moving the flag would also move the 'position' signal timing, and might fix your issue. Looked like 2 screws...

I have a Rev "C" unit. I took a pic of the board/chip and made some voltage measurements for you. Hopefully it will help you find the chip or a compatible one to repair your scanner.

Looks like a speaker icon to me. Only two pads. LS1 = Loud Speaker 1 maybe??

For a Serial starting with K312, I believe you need firmware "C", not "B". That worked for me.

I'm using the 5.8 version right now, and the file sizes for 3" - 50 foot reels is coming in just under 700MB per reel. I realize the B firmware isn't available in version 5.8 (yet ;-) ), but it should give you some indication of what to expect.

I wonder if the variability is because of the sensor in the attached picture. The flag on the moving arm alternately covers and uncovers the sensor at both extremes of its movement. This might be what is providing the "I'm home, take the shot" digital signal to the processor when the arm has...

Hard to be sure from looking at the vids, but it doesn't look like you have the extra room in the shuttle mechanism to put a larger cam in there. You might be able to grind away some metal on the left of the shuttle to give you the extra room you need. It looks like they are only using the...

These guys seem to have what you need. Pretty inexpensive too. https://hollywoodfilmsupplies.com/

Do you have any other electronics with a compatible rom on it that you can test your reader with? That way you'd at least prove that the reader and its cables are still functioning properly.

"I think it's not 1GB , above in this document there is 16KB data cache (upper case B) , almost used for bytes, below at built-in memory they used 1Gb (lower case b) almost used for bit. :-(" Wow. Good catch Hawke (eye). So we have a gray area in our knowledge again? Is it possible for one of...

I found some info on the NT96658 on a Chinese site. To get the entire doc would entail setting up an account and a credit card. It being China, I was reluctant to go that far. But I was able to screen shot the first spec pages that may or may not help you guys. See attached DOCX file. It does...

0dan0: I would love to help with your upgrade investigations, but my background is electronics hardware, not software. So I'm not sure I have the expertise you need. If you have any low level grunt work that would help you out, let me know.

0dan0, Would you share the vendor and part number of the lenses you purchased? I would like to order some and play around with them as well. On the focus problem you are seeing, is the camera/lens too close or too far away from the film? Or can you tell at this point?

Wow, that's amazing video. So do I have this right? You are using a DFM 37UX226-ML camera, via USB to a Windows PC running IC Capture software to capture the images? Is the Wolverine just a transport deck for the film at that point? I found these links...

0dan0, thank you for your work on this firmware. I installed it on my "C" machine and the difference is striking. I no longer have to fight the curves controls in my editing software. Now I can set it once for the whole scene. The workflow is SOOOO much easier.

That's great deal of data, and interesting to think about. Concerning the camera/lens, MAC84 in his Nov 12, 2023 (page 3 of this forum post) shows a great picture of the camera with the cover removed. Notice the 6 rectangular holes in the metal frame. The cover clips into these holes. I used...

I was using the Frame Adjust feature, and zooming all the way out showed quite a bit of area around the film frame itself. So I started wondering if there would be any benefit to physically moving the camera mount so the camera is closer to the film table. That way you wouldn't have to digitally...

Hi folks. What a great project thread you've got here. I've been modifying off the shelf stuff to make it do what I want for years. So this might be a lot of fun for 2025. I just received Kodak Reels digitizer from Amazon, "sold by GadgetBasket". To add to the serial number mix, it has a "K"...
