16 mm Steenbeck editor needs a new home

Anyone interested?

Doug Nelson

I used to work on one of those in the '70s (burned out a lot of brain cells sniffing the acetone). That thing belongs in some 'Movie Museum (me too). Good luck with it.

Mayra Ferrer

Haha, they actually taught my son on one of them a couple of years ago to make sure film students understood the feel of the film and each frame. Nothing quite like it. Thanks! :-)

It makes a very cool desk for the laptop. But the shipping would kill me.

Mayra Ferrer

Yes, I get it. Unless there was a freight company. . . not that big but heavy.

Jack Binder

Classic. If it makes it's way to Los Angeles! :)

I saw one in a Thrift Store a couple of months ago but it wasn't worth the $20 they were asking to me. You got a lot more 'Thrift stores' in LA. I find costumes, props and all sorts of film suitable junk there - I picked up a 128gb class 10, 98mbs card for $1 last week.

Donate to a local film school or to a sound stage like Kaufman studios. They got flatbed trucks to pickup.

JD Hartman

There are no schools in the NYC area (that I know of) where the students shoot anything on film. Kaufman would have no use for it, they aren't an editing house. Calling DuArt would be longshot.

JD Hartman My film school has hundreds of 16mm movies in their vaults and I know other film schools have 16mm libraries. Having a steenbeck is one way to view them.

Mayra Ferrer

Thank you to all who have made suggestions! I’m following all the positive ones. I know there is a place for it.

I cut on a Steenbeck in the late 90’s in film school. That’s the best way to learn because it forces the student to think twice, cut once. Sadly, the only steenbeck remaining at UT is a display piece. If I had brick & mortar location and deeper pockets for shipping/maintenance, I’d buy it... but I don’t.
