Hello all,
I am soo disapointed by a Ebayer. When i purchased a Eiki RM-0 the seller told me twice the Courier just did not show up at his house (my phonecall to the courier ended up with a different story, they sen someone twice and he just was not there) and then on the 3rd. day he just went to a vacation for 10 days without notice. I was on the roof i can tell. Finally he called me and apologized and during the conversation he claimed that he have used the projector just 2 weeks ago and it worked perfectly. Yaya.... we obviously have two different opinions on the word "perfectly"
When i tried to run a Film i just had no torch at all on the Reels and i first thought there is a switch or a lever somewhere to give some torch because i easily could take in the film thru all the little wheels and the Film ran smoothly when i used my fingers to "spin" the reel.
Anyway i looked up here in the Forum to find out if i am doing something wrong and then i found this link here:

Eiki Projector

Which imediately sparked a suspicion...the belts. I dont have to explain how it looks like, im sure you all have seen that before. Bothe Belts where "falling appart" in my hands. There was also a brown ugly "cream"....

Anyway, i obviously need two new Belts and im not sure if there is a difference between the RT-0 and the RM-0 regarding these belts?

A very disapointed Randy

The RM belts are all the same. Paul Foster usually sells them, Randy.
