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?

16mm SOUND
Ampro Stylist New Educational-as new-really!

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!

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.

Posted by Jan Bister (Member # 332) on July 12, 2005, 06:37 PM:
 
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) (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

I get by on these, for now...

The name of the files say basicly what they are. Only have to add a RCA TP-66 which I have not picked up yet due to it's weight and size. Have to rent a truck for this one. Over 475 pounds !!

Nice line up of machines, especially the old Victors. Are any of these opt/mag units?

Posted by Jim Latendorf (Member # 506) on May 02, 2006, 07:51 AM:
 
The JAN AQ-4A and the Kodak are OPT/MAG machines. However, since I do not have any mag stuff, I have not tried those machine's features yet.

BTW. All of the machines are restored and working.

Hi Jan,

really, my great passion for the projectors (especially Super 8), that are all perfectly working, doesn't let me to renounce to any of them. I collected them one by one, searching for the best, and sincerely at the moment I don't want to sell any of them.
Anyway, if I will decide to sell the ones you mentioned, I'll let you know. Thanks and sorry!

That's quite alright Flavio, I understand where you're coming from... I don't think I could let go of my modified ST-1200HD unless I got a GS1200 in trade.

There is a Bauer T430 on eBay Germany right now actually.... so I might yet get lucky. We'll see...

Posted by Jan Bister (Member # 332) on June 26, 2006, 09:38 PM:
 
I'd love to see that Yelco 3600, too... I only know it even exists because of that driveapples guy and his website, with reviews of this and other projectors.
Even Juergen Lossau's book Movie Projectors makes no mention of this Yelco model.
 

---

Posted by Kevin Faulkner (Member # 6) on June 27, 2006, 04:14 AM:
 
The Yelco 3600 is a superb machine with its built in Quartz control. Spares like most machines are now impossible to get as is this machine itself.

The review of the machine years a go in Movie Maker, highly rated it. I remember PM Films having a couple of them in the UK and I think he was using them to record his 600 ft extracts on in stereo. Certainly Watership down which PM sold had a limited number of prints released in stereo and were recorded on Yelco's. My copy still looks and sounds great to this day.

Nice machine if you can find one!

Kev.

Posted by Jan Bister (Member # 332) on June 28, 2006, 07:57 PM:
 
No... This is it... I'm done!!! Because if I keep this up I'm gonna run up my credit card debt... in fact I'm going to sell some stuff and probably getting out of 16mm altogether, sticking with super-8 from now on... I decided to let the Bauer T430 go, and I kind of wish I had been outbid on the Goko RM-8008 on eBay, but what do you know, of course I won so now I have that... no more projectors for me.

Ok, many of them are medium quality, but you can't leave "babies" in the flea market when you find them, do you?

Andrew,

from what I've seen, the B&H Filmosonic DCR projector, having been built by Sankyo, is very similar to the Stereo-800. How would you say the two compare in terms of performance and features?

Hello jan;there are several diffent points between the
SANKYO 800 STEREO and the BELL AND HOWELL DCR21.
The first is the sankyo is a stereo machine,the lamp is a 15w/150volt type.
Also the speaker connector is not the same.
The british DCR 21 has a 6.3mmm jack;the sankyo has a two
old style speaker terminals;pin type.
The USA version of the 800 stereo has the same type of
speaker connections as the DCR21.IE 6.3mm jacks.
However you are right Jan,sankyo did make both those machines.
My dcr21 takes 800ft take up reel.small core.Andy.

She probably would think you had too many if you had only ONE!

Me, on the other hand... I have NINE projectors (one of which is a 16mm Eiki), plus 3 for-parts Elmo models.

And another one on the way, a Bell & Howell Soundstar XJ for 20 squid - I could not resist!

In 1803, President Thomas Jefferson made the Louisiana Purchase, in which he paid France $10 million for a humongous patch of land without having any idea what was in it. Why would Jefferson make such a purchase? The answer is simple: He didn't have a wife. There was nobody to say to him: ''You spent $10 million for what? Take it back right now!'' Guys without wives are always making impulse purchases that border on the insane. If movie projectors had been invented in 1803, Jefferson would have bought one of those, too.
