[Frameworks] EIKI Xenon repair

[Bernard Roddy]

Hey, thanks!

It's an EX-300-SL.


I'd love to get one of them powerful xenon lamps, but it's likely it's running something less.

As Scott pointed out... ELC is not xenon. 

What model of machine do you have SL-II ? Is it the SL or SSL? SL is black and SSL is beige-cooper.  

Here is a list of bulbs vendors. ELC is easy to find, and usually cheap, $9-25.

An ELC lamp is not a xenon type.  It is a little baby 24V halogen lamp,
as used in the Eiki and some B&H 1500-series classroom projectors.

Is what you have a classroom projector that has beem modified for xenon
lamps?

All of the Eiki xenon projectors I have seen are units that
use smaller versions of the Osram XBO short arc lamps that theatre systems 
use.   Those lamps can be purchased through any theatre supply (and I
recommend the folks at Cardinal Sound and Motion Picture in Maryland but
there are plenty of others out there).

For example, the EX1500 uses a little baby 300W XBO-style lamp.  Although
it's tiny, it still has a tendency to explode when it gets old so don't open
the case without a face mask, leather apron, and gloves.  Use the plastic
cover supplied with the new lamp to clamp onto the old lamp and remove it
inside the plastic cover.

The 300W XBO lamps run around $1200 list... I don't know what Cardinal charges
for them these days but give them a call and ask Neil what they have in stock.
