My mains voltage is 117V . The Bolex runs at 18fps. My home movies are at 16fps. If I set the voltage selector on the projector to 160V..do I risk any electrical damage to the projector? My idea was to see if the added resistance might slow the running speed of the projector.
Any other way to slow running speed of this projector? Any thought appreciated. Thank you and have a good day/ evening.

Don't know about running speed.... but I would expect it to seriously affect light output!
