Love the B&H 273. To know what speed the rotating knob sets, make a set of short loops of film, hole-punched at 24, 18, 16, slower! Project them while listening to a metronome app on phone. Dial in your speed so holes sync with 60bpm clicks. Nice self-sound with this projector, and it is gentle. Wish project is get an LED lamp to replace the 750W heater! Sandy
