[Frameworks] Projecting 16mm in Europe

[Beebe, Roger W.]

Meg,

In addition to the proper voltage converter mentioned in Diana and Bernd’s posts, if you want your projectors to run at 24 fps, you’ll have to switch the belts.  (The issue is the 50Hz vs. 60 Hz, which isn’t addressed by the 220V to 110V conversion.)  It’s a pretty easy operation that I did on 4 of my projectors when I took them over a few years ago.  Instructions are on page 22 of the manual here:

Good luck!

Hi Meg,

You will need a voltage convertor and a big one at that - otherwise you will destroy your projector - there are several places you can rent Eiki's here for not too much money - Eidotech (http://www.eidotech.de/)  is one and Labor berlin http://www.laborberlin-film.org/ might be able to help.

I have a few Braun projectors in my possession if brand doesn't matter - drop me a line off list at darce at visualosmosis.com<mailto:darce at visualosmosis.com>

Best Regards,
Diana

Dear All,

I am hoping to bring my Eiki slimline slot load 16mm projector (120 AC v) with me to Berlin next month but I am not sure what I need in order to use it there.

Will I need just an adaptor for my plug or do I also need a voltage converter?

I know this is probably a simple problem, but I am not sure what I need to bring with me/consider.

many thanks!
Meg
