I am most interested in Pathescope.

Grahame Newnham sells at low prices.

Thanks Robert but I know that already. I was just wondering if anyone on the forum was selling.

I know Ebay prices are way over the top.

Grahame Newnhams info is in the Shops and Dealers list if anyone wants to know

Hi!
CHC had a full box of mixed 9,5 at the summer sale, but nothing was sold. I hava no idea of the titles. You better call Phil. I believe he will sell cheap.

Thanks for that I will give him a phone Mats.

Everything on Ebay prices are way over the top Robert.

I've got a few 9.5 bits that's come in with some 8mm, I've no way of checking them, but look OK.

The titles are :

The Waiter Chaplin 300' B/W Silent

The Count Chaplin 300' B/W Silent (original Pathescope box)

Shop Chaplin 300' B/W Silent (original Pathescope box)

The Gallant Fireman Chaplin 300' B/W Silent

Across Alaska 300' B/W Silent

I have no idea what they are worth, make me an offer, I'd sort postage out at the time of order.

Tempting ... I have no idea of value of these either, so do not know what to offer

Vidar,

If you have any money left over from your Nordic event, then why not bid me on these 9.5mm films, you never know what I might be willing to sell them for.

Dear Vidar,

I tried sending you a PM but had no luck, just to let you know your package of 9.5mm film will go out in the morning (24/10/15), there's a bonus 2 short reels I found, not sure what they are, but may be of interest.

Thanks Barry ... I did get your PM (3 or 4 of them actually :-) )

Look forward to checking them out. Had bad luck with 9.5mm tests I've done. First snapped at once and seems I can not get the cement to stick to it. The second played through, some cartoon, but it was mirrored. Also snapped on rewind :-( I reall want a CIR for 9.5mm

Dear Vidar,

I kept getting a message saying I couldn't send you a PM, when you must have got them after all, very strange.

Good to know. Do speak up if there are problems

Vidar please understand that a lot of these 9.5mm prints are very old now. Therefore they may have shrunk slightly
and are now very brittle. They really do need to be checked manually before projection.
Have you been using Hama Cement as that should do the job with splicing. Some cements wont adhere to 9.5mm stock.

Are you scraping both the base and emulsion sides of the film ? If not the cement wont stick the stock.

Yes, I did scrape both. I can get the Regular 8 and 16mm to work fine with the same cement, I think it was Hama or something like that (to lazy to open anything to check). I tried with the same scraper as my other splicers use, which I know scrapes fine.

I understand that there are different acetates that ordinary splicing cement won't work on, the modern acetate I believe is
called Triacetate, the older 9.5 is a different chemical structure. A simple solution and one that is as good, is the use of Super Glue.
Scrape the emulsion as usual, apply a very small amount to the scraped surface, then quickly clamp, it helps too if you place a bit
of tape over the metal surface area, to stop any spill, gluing film to splicer. The use of a needle with the "eye" clipped, gives just the right amount for cement, so will be okay for glue too, a little dab will do the job.

You need some kind of film lubricant that will make the film pliable; I can't recommend anything. 2.22 did the job, but that's not available.

I don't know if you have a tape splicer for 9.5 Vidar, but if not, the super glue instead of the splicing cement should do the trick,
its something that happens with the older prints that were printed on Diacetate stock and the ordinary cement is for Triacetate,
so it won't weld.

Will try Super Glue, Hugh. Thanks. I was certain they were the same cement for it, but I think you might be right. Good tip on the tape, so it won't stick to the splicer

Thanks again

I cant understand why the Hama cement ( if it is Hama ) is not doing the job. I use it with no problems. You may be applying to little or to
much. Also the clamping timing is important too. Yes you can try the "needle trick " it may help.
A really well made cement join with a tape film patch over it lasts years. It may slightly jump going through the gate but its as
strong as an Ox.

Ordinary cement won't weld diacitate film David, as I understand it, the acetate stock is a different chemical make up to the modern Triacetate stock we used until recently, a bit like trying to splice Estar stock with acetone.

Hugh I am sure my vintage 9.5mm prints are diacitate stock and the Hama cement works fine with these. I have a lot
of vintage Pathescope prints.
