Moviola - Ediquip Tightwind assembly Complete

Description

If you own 16mm or 35mm Moviola or Ediquip Rewinds - they are Pre-Drilled for this Tight Wind Core Assembly.
There are 4 holes on the front of the Moviola/Ediquip Rewind - the left 3 are used to mount the Tightwind.  The Roller arm swings out of the way for normal rewind functions.  These are designed to wind film directly onto a core.
I see these listed all the time without the Core Holder.  Those sell for about alone.  this set has both the Roller Arm, and a Basic Core Holder.  Now - there are 2 kinds of Rewind Shafts.  One is designed for only 16mm film, and has a square section next to the Rewind body - this Core Holder won't work with the square section shafts.  The other kind is round all the way to the rewind body, and either has a small thick wire piece to drive the reel or a small tab partially sunk into a groove in the shaft to drive the reel.  This core holder will work well with those.  I include 3 - 16mm Cores.
Film should only be stored Vertically to avoid a heavy stack of film crushing edges on the lower reels.  Either buy a film rack or build a rack out of 2x2's mounted about 4 inches apart."
These Tight Winds are designed ONLY for Moviola and Ediquip.  They will not work on HFC - Hollywood Film Company Rewinds.  I do usually stock a few that work on HFC.   (Higher Cost....)   But currently I'm out.  Check back occasionally.  (The Basic Core Holders are universal and will work with HFC - available in a separate listing.)
Rewind shown for illustration of how they are used.  Rewind is NOT Included.
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 the 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.
In 1966 Moviola was sold to Magnasync Corporation (a subsidiary of Craig Corporation) of North Hollywood for million. The new name was Magnasync/Moviola Corp. The new management immediately tripled its production and earned back its purchase price within 2 years.  Competitors sprang up.  Ediquip 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
