projector running to slow, what can i do ?

Post by **Ricardo** » Thu Feb 10, 2005 1:48 am

Hi,

today i bougt a Heurtier P6-24B

It seemed to be working fine with the silent movies but when i put a super 8 movie with sound, the sound hears slowed down. As a taperecorder with low batteries.
I guess the problem needs to be that the projector is running to slow.
How could i fix it ?

Thanks in advance,
Ricardo

I've never done it, but I'm sure you could add a potentiometer which would enable you to dial up or down the speed of the projector motor as needed. Try searching for "potentiometer" in this forum to see what's here.

I already hoped their is a way to change the speed by changing the volt passage but i have no idea how to do it. Where can i change it ?

Thanks for the quick reply and for giving me hope

Is there a switch on the machine something to the effect of "18/24"? I've never seen a sound machine that doesn't run at both speeds and right now I think you are at 18 FPS. If so try 24 and see what you think.

On the back of the projector, up front near the lens, is a knob that selects 18 or 24fps. Try setting that at 24.

In addition on the front of the projector there is a speed knob, marked below, that selects still, slow, and normal (either 18 or 24fps as the other switch is set)

these are great little machines, that picture is of the one in my basement

P.S. if you need a manual let me know, I can scan one and upload it

Hi,

thanks for all the help. I guess it will have been on the wrong speed.
I can't test it as the belt broke yesterday. It seems the old owner just glued it together with super glue.
Hope i'll find a replacement. As i don't believe super glue is a very good option.
Where could i find a similar belt ?

So yes reedsturtevant it would be great if you could scan an english copy.
Thanks

Is it possible that it is set for 220v which is European vs. 110v which is American? Some projectors have an adjustment knob for this. Also, sometimes when machines ( especially old projectors) which have electric motors have been run for so many hours, the brushes in the electric motor start to wear down and they have to be replaced.

Hi!

Have you got a manual for Eumig s 938 stereo projector?
I bought it few days ago for 20 Euro.
Is it a good price for it??

Thanks

Hi Ricardo, I just uploaded the manual to this site's FTP upload area as Heurtier_P6-24B_english.zip and also here: http://www.mondofoto.com/manuals/heurtier-p6-24b/ hope that helps.

As marc suggests, there is a voltage dial on the backside, be sure that is set properly (the booklet says US models don't have that dial but mine has one)

P.S. Balint, sorry haven't got a manual for that Eumig
P.P.S. Lunar, my basement is rather frightening 8O

Thanks a lot reedsturtevant !!!
I'm going to print it tomorrow and hope of watching a sound movie in the evening 8)

(do you have other manuals that aren't on the site ?
I both a lot of 3 cameras recently without manuals (a Sankyo Auto-4x, Bolex 233 compact and an elmo super 104)

I also have 2 projectors where i still don't have the manual for.
The first projector i ever both, the eumig mark-501 and one i got recently (it needs some work, the tape player doesn't work) a Noris Norimat deluxe

If you could help me with any of these that would be great

But if not, again a lot of thanks for the Hourtier one, i really needed than one.
