Super8 Sound Editing
Super8 Sound Reel Spacer/Adapters
These are combination spacers, shaft hub adapters, and slip-
ping devices that allow you to take up evenly on several
Super8 reels. Each reel Spacer keys to a standard (5/16")
rewind shaft. The Adapter section adapts the shaft to fit a
Super 8 reel and provides a smooth surface against which the
Spacer is pressed by the force of a spring clamp. Torque is
thus applied to the reel through a smooth slip-clutch surface
that pulls smoothly to produce the best sound fidelity. The
Spacer/Adapters are supplied with Super8 Sound 3-gang and
4-gang Editing Benches. You need one Adapter for each reel,
and Spacers for every reel except the front one.
We also offer a keyed version of the hub adapter, to facili-
tate single-strand Super 8 on rewinds.

Super 8 Viewers
Minette S-5
The Minette is the brightest and sharpest Super 8 viewer on
the market. It is the viewer used on the Super8 Sound Edit-
ing Benches. Teeth are in the standard position at the rear
for proper editorial wind. A built-in pressure plate keeps
the image in focus even when not winding. A single-system
version is available.

Elmo 912
The Elmo 912 is a single-system viewer, with a larger but dim-
mer picture than the Minette S-5. Teeth are at the front and
the viewer is therefore not compatible with standard Super 8
synchronizers. Accessories are available for counting frames
and cleaning film.
