Hello everyone

I just want to share this, I just finalized the repairs of my flee market EIKI projektor, i had to replace more or less all belts, re lubricate a lot of parts that were stuck due to 50 year old oil that has become like glue, i also had to check all the electrolytic capacitors in the amplifier as i had quite a lot of hum in the audio, to be honest, i expected more problems, and that further adjustments would be required, so i was quite exited when i received my testfilms, and i have to admit, to my surprice, i only had to align the lens angle to get an even focus, and the film preasure foot (not the correct name), and once that had been done, the Films just run thru the projector without problems, and the happines was total.

So now i feel the urge to buy lots of films, and i actually didn't realize, until now, how much fun it is to watch films.
So im happy to have a working projector, but fixing it was actually quite fun as well.

Best Regards Mikael

Sounds good. Take a look at Paul Fosters site to watch for films and also contact David Guest here, he has quite a lot of films for sale.

Good luck and welcome to madness :-)

Well done that man ! Good on you and I hope you really ENJOY this unique HOBBY
with all its pros and cons !

well done mikael, and welcome to this fantastic hobby of collecting 16mm films

Well done Mikael. I´m happy that you had use for my old school films. I promise to send you a list of other 16mm films, for sale. I just need more time.

Well done my friend. You are a perfect example of the rewards felt in bringing back to life a piece of neglected cine equipment and then experiencing the sheer thrill we all receive each time we use our machines! May the bug be with you!!

Well done Mikael and as said welcome to the mad house

Indeed Mikael sounds a handy lad, well done sorting that projector, skills unlimited! I just give my expert diagnosis when I have
problems, "Its broken "

Well done Mikael; a handy lad to have in the forum.
