I believe all the Eiki "2" projectors have magnetic sound. Are your loops striped with mag sound? If not, I'd think "0" Eikis would be cheaper.
> Could someone tell me the difference between an Eiki-NT2 and Eiki SNT-2? Well, for one thing, they have different thread patchs. Both are auto-threading, but the NT2 looks to be much easier to thread manually. (The RT2 appears to have the same thread path as the NT2). I've use SNTs and ENTs, and I would not try to get a loop into one myself. I've never had the pleasure of meeting an NT or RT. I would think, for loops, you'd be better off with a manual-thread or a slot-load. I'd stay away from Eiki slot-loads, though, because the control linkage is complicated, and if it's worn, sticky or stiff the film won't seat in the path properly. Your options may be limited if you have mag sound, but in general I prefer trusty old projectors with simpler mechanisms. If you can find lenses for them that suit your throw, you can't beat a Pageant for handling film. The later ones (250S) have Halogen lamps. Singer/Telex slot-loaders are reliable, and you can find a wider range of lenses that fit them. _______________________________________________ FrameWorks mailing list [email protected] https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks
