Anyone know a good source to get a crystal-sync module for a super8 cam? Been looking hi and low... nothing I can find.

I think they're getting harder and harder to find. I know Pro8mm sells refurbished Beaulieus with built-in crystal sync motors, but I don't know where you can find one separately.

I myself have always seen them as a bit unnecessary, now that it's possible to sync sound & video digitally--all it takes is a little patience.

Appreciate the feedback. It seems to have been my experience so far...

What's inside the Crystal Sync motor? Microprocessor, crystal oscillator, what?
How can I make one?

There is a crystal oscillator in a crystal sync motor. I have no idea
how to build one. But if you can learn, there is a market for them.
