I just got this Eumig 75 Sound projector. I had never seen one before and couldn't even find much mention of them online either (only on that one projector data site). I was just curious if anyone else out there has had or has one?

Hi Zechariah, I wonder if the "75" alludes to a 75w lamp?
Well spotted though, and it looks to be in good condition.

You are the proud owner of a variant model we rarely see these day’s over here congratulations on a very nice find. Eumig did often give machines different numbers for different country’s in order to basically identify where they were marketed.

The Eumig 75 was sold in the main within Germany and you should have either a 1,6 or 1,3 lens. This economy model had a 50 watt lamp I seem to remember, would happily accommodate a suitable Schneider top quality lens or the Eumig 1.0.

The data is showing this is European line voltage and frequency only.

Zechariah? Does it even have a North American plug with it?

It actually says on the back USA-Canada Set To 117v. And yes, this just has the 50w bulb and the 1.6 lens. It is kinda of a unique lens compared to most of the Eumig lenses I've seen.
Hi Lee, do you have a Eumig or Schneider lens you want to sell? [Smile]

The guy I bought it from said it wasn't feeding film through it but after an evening of tinkering I got it running like a charm. The only thing was the paint was peeling of the bulb so the image is pretty dim til I get a new bulb.

Although I used to carry many Eumig spares my stock is now very depleted and I only have a small number of parts for the 800 range but will have a look for you Zechariah.
