Phil, I have for many years a Heurtier Tri-Film Série 53, mute versione, with which I have always found myself very well! Obviously it has the cons of an old projector, like a lot of noise, but in many ways it's better than many more recent projectors. First of all, with a good lens it's very clear and bright; the mechanism is old but functional, it is also convenient to have the belts outside and not inside the projector.
You say that the 350w lamp is too strong, but I, however, although I found myself already well, I bought the 500w lamp (the maximum power that indicates the manual, the 750w of version of Dom in fact I saw them only on sound models like his).
Ah, I remind you that the lens that usually comes with these Heurtier models is Ok for 8mm films, but not enough for the 9.5mm and 16mm films, whit these the image is vignetted, you need a suitable lens.
Another "highlight" of these models is the variable speed, the already named adjustable shutter and also the still image with plate that blocks the heat and does not burn the film.
It also has its own rewinding system!
I know him well and I also have the manual, if you need help I'm here.

Yes Dom, you're right, 20mm is Ok for 8mm and 35mm for 9.5mm and 16mm, both because they are about the same size.
Both lens should be included, but I've often seen these Heurtier models sell only with 20mm.
And yes, you have to set the shutter blades correctly with the selector.
Phil, I have the 110v version (old France standard, at the time of the projector), I use it with a transformer that convert to 220v.
One thing I don't like about the projector is that it does not get 24fps, so the 16mm most popular films (even those with sound, if you want to watch them without sound) you see a little 'slowed down.
Even the films (silents) that shot in 24fps with my Krasnogorsk3 16mm are seen slowed down.
Instead the version of Dom should have an interchangeable wheel for the 24fps speed.

Ah, true, just move the belt, instead I remembered that you had to replace the pulley. Very comfortable, like this.
Instead, on the silent version the pulley is unique, there is only one, I remember we talking about it. ![[Smile]](smile.gif)
I found the 35mm lens at a very affordable price, it's a good Angénieux 1:1,5. Also of 20mm I have an Angénieux 1: 1.5, the company has created lens specifically for these projectors.
