Anyone has a manual scanned for this? I don't know how to thread the film, it says auto threading, but nothing happens when I put the film into the front.

All info on this is appreciated, like does it have sound built in, or need an external amp?

How large takeup reel can I buy that will fit?

And finally (for now) is the lens unzoomable? I get only a set size picture, anyone know if I can get other lenses that will fit this projector?

Thanks

Hi Vidar,
to load the film you have to press the green button on top of the projector after you have switched on the motor and then load the film. The green button automatically disengages once you have pulled the film through the take up spool. Remember to trim the head of the film with its specific cutter.

It has the built in sound (to switch on the amplifier you have to put on the volume and select the type of sound, optical vs. magnetic) and you can also connect an external speaker.

Spool capacity is max 600mt.

Last, most of 16mm projectors usually come with a fixed lens (prime lens) and not with zoom. However it's possible to change it with a zoom lens (the most common for bauer is the 1.6 38-65mm, even if a 1.3 38-65mm is available).

Super, the reason the film didn't load was actually the header ... Holes on the wrong side :-)

It does load through now, but the green button seems stuck and doesn't push down or release. And is there a button if the picture starts jumping? (I think on the Elmo ST-1200D it says loop or something)

Appreciate the help, thank you
Vidar

It should be the green one that acts also as a loop former

It appears to be stuck, not much movement in that ... I don't dare to fiddle too much with it, but will see if I can see anything holding it back (ie something stuck or things like that)

So if the movie jumps a bit, just press the green button then?

Thanks
