Hi fellow collectors! This is my first post here. Some of you know me from the other forums.

I'm loaded with running 16mm machines. I use them for different occasions, depending on the locations.

Eiki:

EX-2000A (2)
EX-3000N (1)
ST-N (2)

Victor Animatograph:

40 (3)
55 (2)
60 (1)
65-10 (2)
65-25 (1)
70-15 (3)
70-25 (2)

Can you tell that I like Victors?

Bell & Howell / Eiki:

3592AX (with the remote control)
179 (2)
285 (1)
302 (2)
385 (1)
540 (2)
545 (1)
1510 (2)
2592 (2)

RCA

400's (6)
Dont have the individual versions at hand. All run well and have rebuilt amplifiers. Most have 25 watt amps.

TP-66 Telecine (2) These both run well, but need to find good homes.

Kodak

AV-225S (1)
AV-250A (4)
Model 1

Theres a good list for what I have. How about you?

I have the following projectors:

Eumig 822D Sonomatic (Dual) (1)
Eumig 810D (Dual) (1)

Kodak Sound 8 (standard 8 sound, runs at silent 16fps and sound 24fps)
this one needs repair. The claw does not retract adequately, and the sound needs work in the amp. It is equipped with tubes and solid state stuff.
Looks like a small version of a Kodak Pagent 16mm, and it takes 400' capacity(unlike the Pagent with the reels only in the front)
with a DHJ lamp, that is no longer made. (1)

Also, an Elmo GS 1200 (1)

In 16mm:
B&H 1574 manual thread (2)
B&H 1545 auto thread and retrofitted with a two bladed shutter. (1)
B&H 500 series(1) Worm gear broken, needs repair.

Best,
Michael

Hi, Bruce, leaving aside how do you pay for all these, the question is where do you keep all of them?

Sorry about the delay in my reply.

I USE my 16mm machines for different events in my area. I have been asked to supply projectors that are of the same age as the films I am running. My Victor 40's look really nice set-up on a pair of project-o-stands with a black drape around the bases. I also have the original Victor speakers for these machines that I place below the screen.

Keep them?

I have a converted bedroom where the entire film collection lives. All of the projectors are in metal shelves, and the 2 telecine TP-66's live in the heated garage.

I ran a 1950 feature for a church group this past Saturday night using my B&H 179's, and a power speaker. Sounded really good.

Bruce and Brad

You guys are enough to cause some serious projector envy! [Smile]

Bruce I just became the proud owner of my first Victor 75-25 (with Marc 300 lamp). Wow, I had always considered owning one, but had never actually seen one let alone used one before. Been a long time since I have had so much pleasure running a 16mm projector! SWEEEET! I own many B+H JAN projectors including a telecine unit with mag and optical sound I converted myself. Various Elmo, Kodak, Eiki and other B+H's with a lonely RCA 400 to round out the 16mm machines.

Question for you Bruce. You say you have some of the RCA's in good working order. I rescued mine from the trash bin and have so far fixed and adjusted everything so I can run film through it like there is no tomorrow... only problem is the sound is inop. Amp just makes a loud hum. Any recommendations on where to start to fix the amp?

I also own

(4) B+H Filmo Master R-8mm projectors
(8) B+H Filmo/Regent R-8mm projectors
(2) Elmo ST-800 S-8 sound
(1) Elmo ST-1200HD S-8 sound I am in process of rebuilding and putting in a Marc 300 light system
(4) Kodak M100 1200ft capacity S-8 sound
(2) Bolex SM8 S-8 sound
(1) Eumig 932 S-8 sound
(4) Eumig 822/824 Dual 8 sound
(2) B+H Filmosound S-8 sound

Plus many other 16mm silent projectors and others I have forgotten to list I am sure.

David

ehhh? 2000 watts? But it's incredible! How many lux from that machine? Is it possible to see the photos?
And don't you have problems with the overheating (on the film expecially...)?

I've got more than Brad... Hee hee hee...

David:

The amps in your RCA's probably need new capacitors. Over the years the electrolyte in the caps dries out. Its not a bad deal replacing them. The hardest part is getting them. I have found alot of replacement parts on the internet. Nice thing, they dont have to be exact replacements. The worst of my RCA's had a bad grid coupler cap that gave me some grief. It tested OK until I applied power, and fried a 6V6GT output tube...

Hi all,
I'm brand new to this forum and to 16mm film collecting so my list of projectors is pretty easy to remember:

Eiki NT-0 3-blade

My main interest is in maritime and boating related films (I produce a boating TV show) and two weeks ago we showed Tugboat Annie outside on a 16'x12'inflatable screen as part of the Seattle Maritime Film Festival that we are just starting. I also found 2 very cool Castle Film shorts on boating/sailing that I had never seen before. Finding new stuff is for me one of the real joys of 16mm film.

1. Elmo ST-1200HD (magnetic only)
2. Chinon SP-330MV (not in use, sitting on a shelf)
3. Bell & Howell Filmosonic 600PS (nice for quick viewing)
4. Bauer T450 Servo Program (works but I did cause a short so now the sound heads no longer engage) [Frown] (I've modded this machine quite heavily as well)
5. Two old-style B&H standard 8mm projectors (253AX and 256, if I remember correctly)
6. Three editors, an Atlas Warner model 600, Elmo 912 and a Hahnel Motomat 3001 [Smile]

I get by on these, for now... [Big Grin]
