Hi all,

I've been having this problem lately and blew out three fuses in less than 24 hours [Frown]

... Please help :'(...

Best,
Elyas

I can't give you any specifics...perhaps someone with your same projector can assist. There's no way of knowing without testing the circuitry where the source of the problem is located. Assuming you have the correct fuse in place...it could be a bad transformer... capacitor...rectifier... poor solder joint...etc. Check the circuit boards...see if any traces are burned or don't look right. Has this started all of a sudden? Were there any other symptoms occurring before the first fuse blew? Testing voltages with your multimeter can be helpful to see if something seems irregular.

Hmmmmm!!!

-So unless you plug in, everything is OK?

I seem to recall some conversation that the Eiki 16mm machines had both speaker out and line out on their external jack, but you have to wire the plug just right to access the signal you need.

I'm a Super-8 guy of the Elmo-ish, persuasion, but I think just maybe your audio connection is accidentally overloading your amp because it's not hooked up as Eiki intended.

your best bet would be to post on 16mmfilmtalk and hope John Whittle has an answer.

I would try to run it without lamp switched on for a start to help eliminate the high amp use areas. I would inspect closely the lamp connector to see if it has broken down inside somewhat. Also check you are using the correct fuse obviously. [Cool]
