    I got a degree in film making back in 1976 and never have done any editing since. I do have a collection of old super 8 reels that I want to edit together. I must be getting too old or something but I can't remember the brand name of the splicer I used to use at the college lab. It was rather small and had two guillotine type hinged cutters-- basically a butt splicer. After the cut, you butted together the two ends you wanted to join and put tape on one side of the film (non-magnetic strip side). As I recall, I think we used just plain clear Scotch tape. Then you put the film in another part of the splicer, aligned the sprocket holes, and then the splicer would re-cut the sprocket holes through the tape and trim the edges. That was it. Worked well as I recall but for the life of me, I can't remember the brand name. Can anyone out there give me a hand with the name?? Thanks.

    Not a Ciro. I saw a picture of a Ciro at the Chambless Cine Equip. web site. Definitely is not that one. The one I remember does not have a roll of tape as part of it. Besides, the Ciro has one hinged cutter. The one we used at college had two side by sides hinged looking things-- like gates to hold down the film with a cutter in between. It was rather on the small side. Thanks for your answers. Any other suggestions out there?
