If you use a B&H 500-series projector on 50 Hz power, you need a different pulley to get it to run on speed. ICECO in Miami should have the pulley available. But yes, they will run much hotter, in part because the motors are kind of undersized.
The older 300-series projectors use universal motors with interruptor governors, to make them usable on 50 Hz power, 60 Hz power, or (models without transformers in the sound amp) DC. They are a better choice for this sort of application since they were in fact designed for it. But, you might consider buying or renting a Zenit projector in country and avoiding having to ship a projector in and out. They are lighter on film than the B&H 500-series but not as gentle as the 300-series. --scott _______________________________________________ FrameWorks mailing list [email protected] https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks
