I was very fortunate to have secured a rare Fumeo 9119 with factory installed stereo sound and xenon light source.
The projector has a 250W Xenon lamp with two light intensity settings, 1500
and 2500 lumens.
The projector was fitted with the Eumig 1.0 - 18 - 28mm primary. This all glass lens is very heavy.
As mentioned the projector has stereo sound and special sound head by Photovox with a dedicated pre amp and stereo circuit, all internal.

The projector runs very quiet and its performance is top of the list.

Below are a few pictures.

Hello Alan

Thank you for posting the pictures and details of your new Fumeo 9119 stereo xenon - if you have any others specifically showing the dowser and any extra cooling fans on this machine it would be very useful to me as I plan to install a HID lamp and power supply in my 9119.

That is a simply sensational machine you have stumbled upon there Alan.

You are a very lucky guy Alan!😊😊

A real dream machine and one of the very few 19,s with factory fitted stereo capability.

Is it a Marc 300 Lamp fitted Alan?

Can't be I suppose as you say its 250w, just curious to see what lamp this lovely machine uses, that's all Alan.

Very nice machine. Thanks for posting the pics. It looks like an HTI lamp in there.
Also does it need a separate power supply for the lamp like the Beaulieu or is the Ballast/Igniter internal as well?
And of course the million dollar question...which machine is now your favorite? [Smile]

[Smile]

PS-let me know if you ever decide you have too many Fumeo's. I'm sure I may be able to find a nice home for one of them.

With nothing on display, that is why I was somewhat confused Alan?
No Ballast/ Ignitor?

I am sure you're right though Alan predicting it to be a HTI model, like your own Beaulieu model has the same lamp.

Simply magnificent projector though isn't it?
Now where is the nearest exhibition hall? [Smile]

Hi Kevin here is a picture of the shutter assembly. Due to forum restrictions on picture size it is hard to see. Cooling is done with the stock fan that is the same in the 9119. I ran a full movie and no extra heat it stays cool.

Alan the ballast and Igniter are all internal [Smile]

Andrew and Alan I do think it is a HTI lamp. By the way the Beaulieu HTI is also very bright.

Do you have a Fumeo on the way Del ? If so Congrats [Smile]

Alan the best projector is different for all of us. I am keeping myself out of trouble by not answering and wanting to keep all my dear friends:)

Thank you to everyone in this thread for your kind support.

Here is a poor quality video I up loaded shot using my iphone with no correction. This is the projector in action shooting a 16 foot wide scope image on a white wall. The movie is "The Fearless Vampire Killers" which has a lot of dark scenes but the projector handles it quit well at this size.
Do not pay attention to the lack of sound the projector was shooting from another room.

By the way did everyone see this video and pictures: Not sure if you have to log into facebook to see it or not. Search for "Chaiyanant Bhatanant" he is a good S8 collector and performed a Xenon conversion using the Xenon kit meant for autos. Very cleaver.

Alan you have there one of the best Super 8mm projectors ever
made. A big CONGRATULATIONS to you.

As their advertising hype went at the time ... " Tools not toys"

How true this has proven to be they are extremely rugged being
based on a 16mm one.
My own standard unmodified 9119 has not had a full service in
13 years and only needed a general maintenance to keep it running.

I bought the last Mono soundhead and other spares from Fumeo
in the UK a long time ago and have never needed to use them
yet.

However I may just send it off to Bill Parsons for a service and
maybe even an HTI lamp modification if this is possible.

Thanks for the pics and video links.

Very much agreed David and I particularly admire the fact you stocked up on the spare parts when they were still available.

It is only an absolute credit to your machine and your everyday projection skills throughout your career as a professional projectionist, that you have so far never needed to use a single spare part you invested in.

I hope I may say the same for my investment in these spare parts over the years ahead.
I will be most pleased if I never need any of them but just like your own, they are a very handy safeguard for all of us in it for the long term.

I have another conundrum to be evaluated regarding David's point here regarding a possible upgrade to his machine, but as this is not related to the Fumeo 9119 post here, I will open a separate thread surrounding it later.

Cheers Andrew.

It was a very shrewd decision I made at the time regarding the spares.
I am glad you did the same for your machine of choice.

However knowing my luck a part will wear out and it will be one
I don't have. Sods Law ! Hahaha ! [Wink]
