Hi Eric: The lamp you are holding is a EZG Gemini 300 high intensity arc projection lamp . The EZG lamp has a smaller reflector than the EZM, so the EZM will not fit in the lamphouse mount. Larry At 01:57 PM 2/28/2017, you wrote: Hi Warren, Thanks. The projector I probably paid too much for came

Since I've been known as a rather arch defender of film on film, I have to weigh in a bit on David's side here. As film projection becomes rarer an d rarer, various perhaps unexpected but not unanticipatable problems occur. A few years back I went to a projection of Snow's /Rameau's Nephew/

Actually, I don't think it would be too hard to retrofit a modern HMI lamp into one of these. There's a lot more room in there than there is inside the Bell and Howells. But I work with a festival that has a rack of Bell and Howells and stocked up some time ago when you could still get the lamps

I’m more techy-geeky than most. I once tried to get an old pageant arc projector going in an effort to get a brighter image in our schoolo auditorium, but gave up. The technology is not really suitable for infrequent use sans tech support: there’s that massive old-school power supply driving a

Yes, that looks like a marc-300 lamp. They have a rated lifespan of 25 hours but you can sometimes coax them out to 30 or 40 hours if you are running one projector and don't mind the color shift. And they are not cheap. --scott ___ FrameWorks mailing

The bulb you are holding is shot. The white crystal in the center is what a worn out lamp looks like. The center should be clear with 2 metal tips at both ends... You'll have to buy a lamp to do a further test. Checking the machines with a new lamp is the best way to see if it's circuitry, or

Hello frameworkers. I'm using the double projection movement of A Roll for Peter as an excuse to liberate a pair of Pageant Arc projectors from my storage unit. These worked so well when I had a studio that I never gave them a second thought but that was long ago. Running some tests in the
