Greetings everyone,

I just picked up an EIKI RT-0 and the sound when I run a film
which is extremely warped the sound goes up and down from extremely loud to barely audible. It does not do it all the time though? Could it be the exciter lamp is going bad? I only have two old films from 26 men and both films are extremely warped so it could be the film causing this too but I really have no idea? I have no other films to test the sound with. Any advise on the subject would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you,
Roger

Hi Roger,
Sure it is the film causing this problem, not being stable on the sound drum due to being wrapped, try using a better one to test your projector!

Thanks Manuel I'm thinking you are right on with your diagnosis it now makes sense because the film is so warped it affects the sound drum.

Thanks for your input Manuel,
Regards,
Roger
