And a little History.
“Iwan Serrurier started his Moviola company in 1917 to build a home movie viewer. The name was a copy of Victrola
since he thought his invention would do for home movie viewing what the Victrola did for home music listening. But the machine cost 0 in 1920 (that’s over ,000 in today’s dollars), so not many sales. An editor at Studios of Douglas Fairbanks
suggested that Iwan should adapt the device for use by film editors. Serrurier did this and the Moviola as an editing device was born in 1924 with the first Moviola being sold to Douglas Fairbanks himself. All of the Major Studios jumped on board, and his invention was an immediate success.  A full line of Editing Equipment followed.
Competitors sprang up.  Ediquip was started by Craig Corporation who copied the equipment with excellent quality, and painted it Moviola Green, and was promply sued by Moviola.  By the time the lawsuit was settled, the industry was fading, and Ediquip ended up buying both Moviola & Precision for Sound Equipment, adoping Moviola as the surviving name. In the transition period you are likely to find Moviola, Precision, and Ediqup equipment branded under any of those names.  Ediquip wasn’t the only company to copy Moviola – Japanese Company Takita also marketed vey similar equipment – many of the parts interchangeable just like Ediquip….
HFC - Hollywood Film Company also made excellent rewinds - but the parts are not interchangeable with any of the Moviola brands.  Moviola was sold to J&R Film in 1984.  They are not supporting any of the older film equipment any longer.
