Also heartening to know that the problem isn't me! Thanks for the very kind responses, I really appreciate it. The best of all worlds- 8mm, super 8mm, 9.5mm, and HD Digital Projection, The Wolverine certainly seems to have a lot of problems associated with it. I'm certainly interested on how it's resolved. Please keep us on board with the status of this problem. Whether that's a physical component, a circuit board that has drifted off spec, etc., again, I don't know.īen, did you buy this Wolverine new? If so, it's under a one year warranty from the date of your purchase.Īlso - have you contacted Wolverine Customer Service about this problem? Better yet, if you can possibly have one of their folks look at your video, I'll bet that this certainly isn't the first time they've seen this problem, and they may be able to pinpoint the problem, and better yet, help you resolve it.
The only other theory is that possibly the mechanism that focuses and takes the frame shots has run off the rails. I'd suspect that it's an internal drive system issue. Whether it's feeding the film too slow, too fast, etc., I don't really know. If the ideas that Mike has pointed out don't work, the only theories I can throw out is that it appears (from your video) that something in the film drive system is not in synchronization with the camera/scanning process. He's a guru on these Wolverine converters compared to my experience, and I've learned a lot from him!įirst off, the fact that you were previously able to successfully scan movies shows that something obviously has changed (duh!), and I'd lean towards a component failure of some degree. I can add little to what Mike has already described in his comment, and it appears he's covered all the usual possibilities. I too have the Wolverine Pro, and am just starting a 400ft reel as I read your post. Other than that, I am as mystified as you. Wolverine did suggest to me that loosening the two screws of the upper gate plate by half a turn, to allow more pressure on the film was also worth a try. Or the film is not properly tucked under both of the little white guides in the gate area. The only think I can think of is the super8/standard lever may not be firmly to it's correct position. It looks as tho your jitter is coming up from the bottom of the frame, I have never experienced that so I am sorry I am unable to offer a solution. Not easy for a 400ft but fine for 50,100 and 200. I stopped using the take up spool and use a drop box, that cured 99% of my problems.įor stubborn reels I now use a feed box to drop box and scan that way.
Is anyone able to provide more advice? Thank you in advance! But I'm hoping someone can provide some other advice before I send the unit back to the retailer.

So I imported a Wolverine Pro from B&H to Australia a few weeks ago. Long time reader, first time poster! I just wish it was in better circumstances.
