Hi all,

I got this projector for free but had to take a break as the instructions nonchalantly say "adjust film speed for silent or sound film" but for the life of me, I can't locate where to do so. Please help n I have included a URL to the projector as I can't take pictures atm n thanks again !!!

I'm not familiar with this projector...but on my Elmo 16CL you have to move a belt from one set of pulleys to another to change the speed. Open the back and see if that's an option with this machine.

Hi Elyas,
This may be a single (24fps) speed model despite the instructions. That said it may have a rocker switch at the back to select sound or silent speed electronically.

Hey Janice and Paul,

I didn't find a way to get to the belt without removing some screws so I'm thinking that's not an option, Janice ... I will check and see for said switch for speed adjustment and get back to you, Paul ... Thank you both and talk soon !!!

Best,
Elyas
