FILM EDITING EQUIPMENT SUPPLIER
August 5, 2020
"It’s coming up on a year since I bought the Steenbeck and it’s one of the most enjoyable purchases I’ve ever made in my life.
The 1901 is a beautiful machine and I’m grateful you sold it to me. This machine is in such good condition, I’m a perfectionist and it meets even my standards.
You and Rick were great in installing it too, you left my home without damage which is saying something considering what you had to go through to get it into the room.
Thanks again for your expertise and effort in getting that machine into my little editing room." - Terry Connell

Thank you to Mary, Jerome, and Carol for approving the expenditure for a service call on our Steenbeck flat-bed editor. You won't believe the difference in quality after the technician cleaned up all of the optics as we now get brighter, sharper, crisper images off the old 16 mm film. Dwight Cody, of the Boston Connection, travels from the East Coast to various institutions in the Midwest so we were lucky he was able to come to SHSI. Cody also installed a new motherboard (i.e. New Generation audio boards designed by the Boston Connection) that allows us to record sound directly off of the optical and magnetic sound readers. This is a vast improvement over us standing there with a microphone that also picks up the sound of the machine running. The audio quality will be superior now that we can plug directly into a computer or DVD player! We had not serviced this machine in 11 years (since we bought it from Cody) and the belts were terribly worn and dangerously close to erupting and destroying the innards of the machine. So, we thank you profusely for making this wise decision even when budgets are tight. Thank goodness our donor continues to support our efforts to provide access to our incredible film collection. The photo of Dwight Cody and the Steenbeck was taken on April 23, 2011, just after he finished his work. He completely disassembled then reassembled the machine and it now purrs like a kitten. With gratitude,
