Moviola / Hollywood Film Co Spring Clamp (1) W/Rubber Pad for Long Shaft Rewinds

Description

Single Film Editing Spring Clamp w/Rubber Pad for Longer Rewind Shaft. This will hold any size Film Reel either on or against the Rewind Shaft drive key.  16mm & 35mm fit on the drive key.  8mm & Super-8 (With adapter - not included) are held against the key with the rubber pad.  So One-Size-Fits All.  These fit Moviola, Hollywood Film Company, and SOME models of Neumade.  If your Rewind Shaft does NOT have a deep groove - these will not fit or work
The original style of editing used 10 or 12 inch shafts with 3 or 4 sets of reels separated by spacers, and all held together with Spring Clamps like these.  If you are doing this style of "B Roll" editing this clamp is necessary.
But now the 10 & 12 inch shafts are obsolete.  Some ingenious & clever Editors have discovered that taking a hacksaw and cutting them down to 5" exposed is a good HACK (pun intended.)  Then you clean up the cut end on a bench grinder.  Now you have a rewind with a shaft suitable for 35mm-16mm-8mm & Super-8 if you have a set of the inserts that adapt the larger Super-8 reel hole to fit the standard 35-16 shafts.  Adapters not included - but available here on eBay.  Also - Rewinds not included - but available here on eBay.  But this type of shaft has a deep groove on it, and these Spring Clamps have a matching tab.  If your shaft does not have a deep groove on it, these Springs Clamps will not bring you any pleasure....
So - if you have a longer than normal Shaft, and it has a deep groove - you will be amazed at how useful these Spring Clamps can be.  They can keep you from losing control of your reel causing it to Prematurely Shoot off the end of your shaft and lay waste to your editing bench.
This Clean and in Excellent Condition unlike some other way overpriced similar ones also listed on eBay.
