The ARRI Opt. E III / 1B / U is a classic optical film copier designed for 16mm and 35mm workflows. Engineered for high-precision duplication, it enables reduction from 35mm to 16mm and enlargement from 16mm to 35mm, supporting archival, restoration and traditional finishing techniques. This unit, believed to date from around 1981, represents a significant piece of motion picture technology from a renowned manufacturer. Please note: the electronics are not present. It is offered as a non-functional, as-seen item, best suited to collectors, museums or specialists seeking a restoration project or a historically accurate display piece. Mechanically, it provides the core framework of an optical printer/film copier, showcasing the craftsmanship and industrial design of ARRI’s era-defining equipment. For those preserving cinema heritage or curating a technical exhibit, this unit offers authentic hardware and a tangible link to photochemical post-production. Ideal for educational displays, prop/scene dressing, or as a foundation for expert refurbishment in film archive environments.
