You might have been lucky when you missed this auction. Since most US-made acetate-base film stock shrinks at a slightly faster rate than Agfa stock, a 57 year old US made color print will probably be over one percent shrinkage and that exceeds the shrinkage capability of the 16mm Steenbeck flatbeds.

Just wondering, have you had any problem with the quality of Steenbeck replacement parts, now that Steenbeck has moved manufacturing from Germany to the Netherlands?

We have not had any yet, but I know some others in the US have found bad machine work on new replacement parts.

Jas.
