Soundman's Repair Kit
Every Super 8 Soundman should carry a test and repair kit
on location. We suggest you buy a small VOM multi-tester,
a battery-operated soldering iron, small pliers, screwdrivers,
wirestrippers (a Swiss Army Knife can replace all three of
these tools), insulating tape, solder, alligator-clip leads, and
5-minute epoxy. Any local Radio Shack or similar electron-
ics supply house can provide these for you.
Filmmaker's Pocket Tool Kit
We suggest you purchase a Swiss Army Knife. We recommend
the version with scissors, magnifying glass for inspecting
fil
ms, soft plastic toothpick for scraping emulsion safely
from the picture gate, metal file, hacksaw, Phillips type and
3 flat screwdrivers, tweezers, and other features. This may
prove to be the tool you use most on many film productions.
Carrying Cases
Super8 Sound can supply, on special order, custom carrying
cases for all our sync cameras, with die-cut foam inserts or
custom contoured cases designed by the camera manufac-
turers. However, the original camera case is often less con-
venient than a single large case or cases that can hold a camera
and many production accessories.
We have found the least expensive and most versatile case to
be the Fiberbilt Adapt-a-Case. With movable interior padded
partitions, or pre-cut cubes of foam, you can safely store
cameras, cables, etc. in the same box. The larger cases come
in fibre or aluminum construction, and in a variety of sizes
and shapes. We list here only two of the most popular sizes.
We can order any Fiberbilt case; send for a complete listing
of sizes and prices.

Animation Stands
The most widely used Super 8 animation equipment is the
Oxberry Animator 8, and the new larger Oxberry Media Pro
that can also be used with 16mm and video cameras.
The Oxberry animation stands are complete animation sys-
tems: Super 8 camera, lights, viscous-damped compound table,
and 12-field art registration guide.
The Media Pro also includes a backlighting stage, adjustable
li
ghts, a heavy-duty aluminum table top with two moving
peg bars, and a vertically adjustable camera carriage.
Super8 Sound can supply either of these fine systems, and
with a selection of Super 8 and Single 8 cameras that are
capable of various effects. Write for a brochure for more de-
tails on the Oxberry Animator 8 or the Oxberry Media Pro.
