8mm splicers

Post by Geronimouse »

At the moment I have 3 splicers #1 is a Fujica single 8 roll type, #2 is an
Agfa F8s automatic which I cannot get the correct Agfa tapes for,#3 is a Wurker S8 which does not seem to suit the Hama dry tapes . None of these units with the the lack of adhesive power due to age is doing a good enough job and I have "shipload" of splicing to do . Here in Oz there are hardly any places to get the necessary bits & pieces I need so urgently. Any ideas/advice would be greatly appreciated.......
Cheers Gero..... :?

That's the typical problem with tape splicers. Why not go to cement? Unlike tape, film cement will work on different spcement splicers. :D It's stronger, cleaner splices, and stays permanent.

Best price fresh Fuji splicingtape rolls are to be found at http://www.parallaxe.nl

These Hama and Wurker splices can be found at wittner-kinotechnik in Germany. Fresh too but not so cheap.

Best price per splice comes from the fuji press.

Somebody told me Catozzo has S8 splicers too and with Euro 3,50 for a roll of tape which allows for 300 splices this would definetly make the cheapest splices.
Kind regards,

André
