You sound like a television commentator at a golf game...LOL!!! Seriously, a good demonstration. I have loved movie projectors all my life and this one looks like a beauty!!!
+Joe Comer That would be me self-consciously trying to speak to a machine in an empty room. ;-) I was wearing beyerdynamic DT109 headset, the same kind of thing that many commentators might use, if they weren't using a Coles lip mike. Yes, they are built like a tank, last forever, does quite a job of what it's meant to, and fairly easy to look after.
I am probably one of the last generations to have seen films with these at school. Next it was video tape, now it's DVDs or video files. In primary school, one of the teachers used to borrow Charlie Chaplin and Laurel and Hardy films. And I used to love seeing the Keystone Cops used as filler shorts on the ABC, back as a kid in the 1970s.
I'm impressed how you manipulate the film on the projector. I'm having a problem with the same projector, the image is shaking and sometimes breaks the film, do you have some experience with that? thanks!
are you getting a normal loop below the lens? A good clean of the entire film path, make sure all the rolling parts spin freely, perhaps check the lubrication
@@CameraTim-DAMMITDOTcom Thanks for the answer, the loop from the bottom starts well, because I do it automatically but after a few seconds it drastically reduces, and it makes so much pressure that even the loop setter can't roll. I've checked the rolling parts and they run smoothly, in your experience could it be something with the drag hooks? do you have some pictures of you projector from inside? I feel the loops setter is not working propertly or strong enought. Thanks for your time.
@@johancarrasco4529 I can't get to where mine's buried at the moment. But switch off, swing open the lens, and put your finger over where the claw pokes through to advance the film. Turn the inching knob and see if you can feel the claws poke through and move down as you manually inch the mechanism along. They should protrude through enough to go completely through the width of movie film and out the other side of it. I've had your kind of fault before, so long ago that I can't really remember what mine's problem was, though I suspect it was dried out lubrication in the claw and gate mechanism. Remember only add oil in tiny drops, excess gets spread everywhere. You can test whether everything else is adequately driving the film: Thread up normally, swing open the lens, lift the film away from the gate with the your finger and run the projector in forward mode. The sprockets should drive the film through without the bit currently bypassing the gate getting dragged shorter. I'll ask the obvious question: Is your film undamaged?
@@CameraTim-DAMMITDOTcom Thanks for your answer, I will try all your suggestions and come back to you. Thanks again. PD: This projector wasn't use for many years I think, I just bought it and the first film that I tried on it was damaged, braking the film holes. I have another film that is in good shape, and I'll try again after check.
+allan broadfield Yes, that's typical of the Eiki projector models spanning something like 20 years of models. They kept the same basic chassis, with minor variations in controls, until they started making slot-loading models. However, I should point out that the voice over was done afterwards, and the actual sound of the projector has been dimmed behind the speech. While you could have the projector in the room with you and watch a film, it'd need to be a largish room so it wasn't too annoying.
Not quite, this one doesn't have a magnetic sound head, it's only optical. It's an RT-1. But they're mechanically very similar, about the most noticeable difference between models is the shape of the lamp house cover.
Что за криворукость!? Перед демонстрацией фильмокопию проверять надо, на разрывы перфораций, надрывов, не качественных склеек... А так весь филь можно изодрать. И проектор надобно подготовить, согласно тех. паспорту
