Yesterday I gave a Christmas film show to a school group at a local church hall. I decided to use my Eumig 938 projector as it is much lighter and more easily handled than my GS1200. I fitted the projector with my Eastman Kodak Ektar 22mm f1.0 lens and projected on to a 5ft wide screen. I was showing several films of all different ages and reel sizes, and I was impressed yet again at how flawlessly the 938 will thread and run any film you feed into it. Every film was projected absolutely rock steady with no hint of vertical dither or horizontal weaving, focus stayed put with no need to constantly fiddle with the focus knob, and throughout the whole show the 938 just purred smoothly and happily along. This is just about the most reliable and fuss-free projector I have ever owned, and performance-wise it is absolutely second to none. The sound was really superb, even on old mono films, and with the Ektar lens the picture was brilliant and needle sharp from top to bottom and side to side. The picture was astonishing, and I was so proud of how my 938 did its job without a single hiccup. What a really great projector this is, surely Eumigs ultimate achievement in projector design!.

On July I bought three Eumig projectors; a 926 GL Stereosound, a S932 and a S940, all three for Euros 200, including shipping, a real bargain.
When the projectors arrived I noticed there were problems on two of them. The 926 GL Stereosound doesnīt switch on, perhaps the micro switcher thatīs activated with the Power button is defective. Iīll watch when Iīll have more time. The S932 runs a bit slow, but I think that cleaning and adjusting the discs the motor will run fine. The S940 didnīt run fine with a lot of motor noise and slowly. I cleaned the discs and adjusted them and now itīs running fine. The main problem with the S940 was a lot of corrosion on the alloy cast, a kind of white powder. I sprayed generously with a gun cleaner and the white powder turned into a kind of salt, easy to remove with a brush. But I had to dissasemble all the mechanics and the electrical and electronic parts before spraying and cleaning. After two days of brushing, the machine seemed almost new. I reassembled all and the projector ran fine but thereīs no sound. You get noise from the amplifier so I assume I did one or more mistakes with the conectors. I donīt know if someone has a Service Manual but, if not, pics of the transformer with all the wires connected, the conectors inside the amplifier and at the circuit board on the bottom left of the rear of the projector will serve. I desesperately need them to do the work and have the machine in working condition. Merry Christmas.
Alex.
