The EIKI SL-OL 16mm projector was one of their “lightweight” line of projectors. It is arguably the safest design for projecting film: it shuts itself off before any sprocket damage occurs, and this feature works very well.
Ours is set to project at 24 fps (frames per second), which is the normal playback speed for sound films. Many home movies shot in 16mm were filmed at 18 fps, and will project a little fast.
This is a three-bladed shutter, not the five-blade telecine.
We can accomodate up to 2000′ films.

Tips:
- If showing a double-sprocket silent film (i.e. an old high school basketball film), turn the sound all the way OFF, or it will sound like a machine gun!
- Re-focus about 30 seconds after you begin watching the film as the lens will slightly expand in the heat of the bulb, and loose its focus a tad.
- You can safely stop at any point an rewind. You can rewind while threaded through the projector or move the film to the top and rewind reel-to-reel.
