Hello and thanks for the suggestions. Unfortunately, I have and never had any manuals...but one of the projectors is a dual 8 variable speed and looks to be the 466A model. The other is a 16mm Filmo Diplomat with variable speed function as well possibly the 173 model. I also have an Eiki SL-O.
I'll look for manuals online, but any suggestions on which projector I should feed 32 and which 68 would be great.
