Hi Tassos,

I see we are not alone in possessing a Bauer machine. I just inherited one, with no instruction manual or anything, and I too have a couple of questions.

First, I cannot see how to change the speed from sound speed to silent speed, if indeed there is such a facility. [Confused]

Second, can anyone tell me what the synch control is for and how it works? [Confused]

BTW, I will be away once again from tomorrow till Friday week, so I may not be able to acknowledge any responses until then.

Many thanks,

Hi David, i hope you'll appreciate the virtues of 16mm which, in my opinion, is much closer to the cinema experience than the 8mm alternative. About the speed change you've mentioned, do you mean 18-24 fps? If yes, i think there is such a selector on the right just above the lens.

Hi Tassos,

Sorry for the delay in replying, but I have only just returned from a business assignment away.

To answer your question, yes, I do mean changing from 24fps to 18fps, but there is no such button, switch, lever, or anything that remotely represents a speed change device anywhere on the machine. [Confused]

It's really strange. I've stripped the projector down to give it a thorough service, clean etc, but there appears to be absolutely nothing that I can find which would change the speed.

Anyone else with any ideas?? Please!!
