Hopefully this is right forum to post this.
 
 
Anyone know much about Eumig 900 series projectors?
 
Especially S905
 
It is not running as fast as it should even on 18fps, I have checked belt and motor and plastic pully's etc, all seem okay when I compare to my S912,
 
Although there is something going on with inching knob on the rear of it, when one locks that to stop a film to remind onself where to record something, when you turn projector knob forward that should disengage, it is not doing that.
 
Anyway sugestions welcomed.
 
Cheers
Phil

You're so not in the right forum... DV stands for digital video... Digital Video Forum... all that projector stuff? Now that's what I call analogue!

However, there are lots of helpful people here with experience that stretches back that far who might be able to help, or at least point you somewhere better to ask.

Phil, have you tried running the projector at 24fps to see if that plays 18fps films ok?
Does it sound smooth as it runs?
Has the voltage change connectors on the transformer been moved?

I hope I'm not breaking forum rules but 8mmforum.film-tech.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi is a cine film forum and might be of assistance

Hi Tom,
Yes I tried 24fps, no difference, sound on this one we haven't got running yet, like the S912 I have I suspect we just need to clean sound head with a bit of spit and a cotton bud, as it got it's sound working well.
 
Not aware if Volatge connecters have been moved, I got this one as a back up from Ebay a month or so ago.
 
I check with a mate of mine who is a bit more technical and loves fiddling / working with things like this, if he can check that.
 
How would you knoiw if they have?
 
 
 
Cheers
Phil
