Hi guys, looks like I have the same problem Mike had back in 2010 with my Eumig S932 😕 Everything is working fine, but can't get the speed high enough for the sound to be normal. The data plate says it's set at 50 Hz, and the voltage 240, and I'm in the UK so all should be good. Same films work fine on other projectors. Now this is a strange thing, the speed control seems to be working backwards! Looking at the white dot on the speed control, and the little diagram next to the control, when I move it to 24 fps it's slower than when at the 18 fps position. Wonder if I have bought Miles old machine ☺. Any answers before I start to strip it would be appreciated

Your projector may be suffering from slip of the rubber drive discs, which is common on all Eumigs. Remove the front cover and wipe both discs with a Q-tip soaked in alcohol. Let it dry and try the projector again. If it's still not running at full speed at 24fps, try wiping with a q-tip soaked with automobile rubber belt dressing and let dry( eliminates auto fan belt and alternator belt slippage)
You should also lubricate the main drive shaft bearings and gears, all accessible by removing the back cover, just in case the load on the motor drive discs is too high due to no lubrication or dryed up grease on the gears.
Incidentally Graham, I had an Aunt who lived in Chorlton-cum-Hardy, and spent many happy days in and around Manchester as a boy and teenager. I remember the Cat and Fiddle pub in Derbyshire quite well! ![[Smile]](smile.gif)

Andrew, some of the happiest days of my life were spent in Manchester. My earliest memory of being there was a 1951 Christmas at my Aunt Ethel's house in Chorlton, my mum and dad and grandparents were there as well, and Ethel had a Christmas tree which I had never seen before. On 'Boxing day' she took me and my brother to see the showing of Alistaire Simm's Christmas Carol at a cinema on the London Road. During those days the whole family would take trips out to the Goyt Valley, The Cat and Fiddle inn, and The Marquis of Granby Hotel near Hathersage for dinner. On my 1989 bicycling trip I flew from Florida to Manchester with my bike, and cycled out through Chappel-on-le-Frith to Castelton and hathersage, then to Matlock and the tram museum, looped around back through Buxton, then down to Wales via Stoke-on-Trent, Iron Bridge, and Maldon.
So that whole area is very close to my heart.
(I realize Mr. Moderator (Doug) that all of this has nothing at all to do with Mike's Eumig problem, but figure that Andrew and I have probably solved his problem ) ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)
