BACKGROUND:
My primary interests have always been electronics and the 'the arts' and more specifically, music, artwork and hand crafted/decorated chinaware's.
I am not a film enthusiast but an associate has asked me to find new owners for THEIR large collection of photographic and film items ... this is yet another one of those items.
One of his machines was the TITAN TRIMATIC silent projector which just had too many issues to warrant having it serviced so it is now sitting on the workbench undergoing "the operation" i.e it is becoming an organ donor for other TITAN projectors. These TITAN's are built like a battleship with extensive use of diecast metal for the frame, those parts have gone off to a scrap metal dealer.
This is one of two Super 8 sprocket adapters that fit as shown in one of the photographs ... very useful if you have been running Regular 8 film but now want to play some Super 8 film but you cannot find the adapter! These adaptors are user changeable, no specialist technical skills required.
TITAN (Japan) - Super 8 Sprocket adapter
Made in Japan
Circa early 1980's (machine is date stamped 1983)
All metal mechanism construction
COSMETIC CONDITION:
USED (Extracted from the TRIMATIC Silent projector)
CLEAN
Free of any marks or damage to the adapter body or the sprocket teeth
Fully functional mechanically immediately prior to removal of from the "patient" a Titan TRIMATIC.
I have now carefully packed this Super 8 sprocket assembly into a clear plastic package and it is now patiently waiting to allow another Titan projector the ability to play Super 8 film.
