Restoration of the DeAnza animation stand (an old 16MM stand from the former Colossal Films studio) is now well underway.
- The stand is fully re-assembled and all of the wiring has been checked.
- Manual composite motion controls are currently very loose but appear to just need adjustment.
- Counter-balance weight needs to be reduced, but camera head motor is operational and responds to control.
- All lights function well and mounts are solid.
- Platten glass cylinoid is not operating, suspect damaged connector is at fault.
Further repairs and photographs in a few days.
