[Frameworks] 220v projector in north america

[Pablo Marin]

yeap.
I've tried with Super 8 projectors (Elmo's, Eumig's, and a bunch more) and they do convert without need of an external converter.
but 16mm is another deal. a couple of seconds of run without it and its over.
best,p.

My Eikis (SSL-0/3580) have a useful little graphic to show which is for 50Hz & which is for 60Hz.  (Pretty sure 60 is on the left if you're looking into the projector.)  Keep in mind you'll also need a serious voltage converter unless you want to fry the circuitry.  They're made to run 24 fps in either system, but they're not made to handle 220V of juice.  (My GS-1200 (s8 projector) does seem to be made to handle either current though with just the turn of a screw.  Never put it to the test though.)

There are apparently models with a "voltage selector" just next to the High/Low lamp switch though (near the lamp itself).  I haven't seen these, but according to this manual, they do exist:

Good luck!

Hey all

I have this memory that there is a couple different models of Eiki or Elmo projectors which can run on either 110 or 220v power. like they are switchable or have a motor that can take both currents?

Thanks!

Pablo
