[Frameworks] eiki projectors

[Jorge Lorenzo Flores Garza]

I have used both EIKI NT2 and SNT-2 for loops and they work pretty 
good.  The NT2 I think might be sturdier than the SNT-2 (maybe for 
longer loops or for longer displays).  My NT2 is modified (I don't know 
why, I bought it like that) and you have to load it by hand.  Another 
thing on the Eikis is that when you cut the leader to load it 
automatically, the cut is round on the edges of the film strip and that 
might mess up the endless aspect of a loop.  In that case, I recommend 
loading by hand.
I have also used ELMO 16-CL which are really good and soft for loops.  And I used another Elmo which I never remember the model but I am sending a picture.  This one is loaded manually and it is really strong.  I used it in an installation that lasted a month.  It was all connected to a motion detector so the loop wasn't going on 24/7 of course.  But it worked really well and after a month the film had minor damage.
Now, when I am saying I used this equipment, I mean I used 100ft rolls.  For larger rolls you have to consider the kind of looper too.  For example, I know Pageant projectors are really good with certain loopers, but I couldn't give much info on that.

Best,

Jorge L.

I need three reliable projectors for a loop-installation. In the past i worked with bauer projectors but i am sick of the problems they cause with their fuses.



Could someone tell me the difference between an Eiki-NT2 and Eiki SNT-2?

Is there another disadvantage of the Eiki-RT2 and Eiki-RT3 model than the one plastic part that breaks easily and cannot be replaced? Is there another reason for the cheaper price?



thanks!

viktoria
