 Dear Friends and Colleagues,
For a new project, I am looking for old, unexposed b + w 35mm film, about 4 
minutes worth, or more.  It does not have to have been properly stored.  It 
could be sitting in your basement, your attic, your closet.  It just has to be 
unexposed.  Slower film preferred.   Hopefully, you will be willing to give it 
away or sell it cheaply.  I'll pay shipping.  If you have some, please contact 
me off list.
Many thanks and stay safe.

I'd ask a lab if they had any ancient intermediate films in the closet.
They'll be long KS perf which may or may not be a problem for you.

If you wanted 16mm, I have a couple cans of Television Recording Film
around here somewhere with mid-seventies date codes...

I have an Eiki with a similar issue. Using a heavy take-up reel (metal
1400') resolves the issue most of the time.

In addition to the belt, there is a slip clutch that goes bad.  The belts 
should be replaced every decade or so just pre-emptively, but in a pinch
cleaning them with 409 (buyl cellosolve kitchen degreaser) will often help.
If the slip clutch is slipping too much, take it apart, wash the parts 
with 409, and put it back together.

Re: [Frameworks] EIKI slimline 16mm projector query

2020-05-15 Thread FrameWorks Admin 
I just had an issue with a super-8 projector which is fully electronic, full of 
circuit boards. The motor would only run two seconds and it wouldn’t drive the 
projector. I was worried there is no way to repair this where I am in South 
Korea, with 40 students eager to watch the seven rolls they just developed. It 
turned out to be a simple matter of tightening two screws that connect the 
ventilator and belt pulley shaft to the motor shaft. Fixed in ten seconds! 
After a few days of worrying and calling experts…

No Problem Mark. I have repaired many Pagaents (they are not easy) except the 
electronics. It is really just mechanical common sense to fix many of the 
problems as long as you are able to open up the projector, most of them can be 
fixed relatively easy.

Sounds like a belt issue. Unplug the machine there should be a few screws
to open back. Look inside it will be obvious if belt is loose it should be
tight. It also could just be dirt so check for that. Ape city.com has
manuals for many projectors and this may help show how to remove back cover.

[Frameworks] EIKI slimline 16mm projector query

2020-05-15 Thread Mark Street 
Hey All,
The take up on this projector is working intermittently.  Sometimes it
takes up fine; sometimes it needs a little help at the beginning of the
reel, sometimes it doesn't work at all. I've never worked on projectors
before.  How complicated is it to 'repair' it (assuming that is possible)?
I was told it was a belt issue at one point; should I buy and install a new
belt?  Tinker?  Any illumination much appreciated.

best,
Mark
