we also got this prism cover off of an old ITK yfront machine, which was already missing nearly all of its internals

it's not useful but it certainly looks cool

with cinema film scanners, you can:

digitize some archival footage!
admire them!
fill your jellyfin library with filmrips!

@alyx if you're seriously just looking to unload them, lets talk. I'll be happy to figure out logistics to get one or both of them to our facility in GA, and figure out how to use them. I can't pay what they cost, but I can pay something.

We don't use scanners when we're archiving film right now because I can't afford one, but I have a number of legitimately one of a kind films (usually camera negatives from kinoscopes, or other TV related stuff) and dozens of less rare but only available in potato quality films I would adore the opportunity to properly digitize.

@ajroach42 we're not looking to sell them, just re-home them to somewhere that can use them! we rescued them for just the cost of a liftgate rental and aren't looking to make a profit flipping these

we were told that both work, but from poking around inside only one of them currently has a lamp module in it

I think this is realistically a one works with one for spare parts scenario
