Operate your Eiki RT-0 16mm Projector and Attract a Mate

Your Eiki projector can provide hours of fun and entertainment. It might also attract the opposite sex and impress your neighbors! But you don't want to look like an idiot, so learn the tricks of running your Eiki.

One of the BEST "training films" I have ever seen. My grandfather was a projectionist for a major theater, and I was the school projectionist for my school (I was about the only one who knew how to run the school projector). I just wish I'd had this film then! Great humor and light-heartedness. Humor is a GREAT way to improve the memory of what you want an audience to remember!

[@brentbetbeder5161]

When I was in primary school in the late 70's/early 80's, I quickly learnt how to use this projector. Bear in mind I was around 9 or 10 yrs old at the time. I was often called to run the projector for other classes. I also ran the projector for the end-of-year 3-hr movie with the 1-hr long-play reels. They were heavy!!

[@databits]

Brent, I always wanted to be that guy to operate the projector, but they just wouldn't let kids touch them. So I grew up and bought my own projector. :D

[@ChristopherSobieniak]

databits Most high school these days probably don't maintain a "A/V Club" anymore, I wanted to be in one but mine didn't have such a cool club in the 90's when it still mattered.

you have the best boice for voiceover

Tank you!

[@rulex9342]

@@databits agreed, your voice reminds me of the voice for fnaf sister location that told you how to use the hand unit, the one that goes “exotic butters”

[@anzaeria]

Very informative and entertaining video. Besides having a spare lamp on hand, I would also recommend having a bunch of rubber belts on standby too. I used to operate an Eiki 16mm projector and the belts in the arms would break extremely frequently.

[@Robin-si3vw]

16mm projectors can be tricky: Either they attract all the girls in town, or they make you lonely for the rest of your life.

[@WalterMarinLVMP]

that was great!..I learned a lot.... and I gather you are a pro announcer or teacher... very informative... and funny too!

[@dagnachewdagne1452]

Very funny and entertaining presentation I watched 10x May be will watch it again. Great job thanks

[@databits]

Thank you Walter, I appreciate your comment on my Eiki 16mm projector video!

[@TheStratman62]

Awesome video I just purchased the projector today

[@cavs693]

Great presentation ,thank you for your time.

***** Thank you for your comment also!

[@ChristopherSobieniak]

databits If only they played this when I was learning this stuff in school! Went to a college that had these projectors.

[@AntonDoiron]

funny! just bid on one of these. Hopefully it will impress and amaze!

Glad to know the Movie Fone guy is still around.

Tenho centenas de filmes 16 mm, só me falta um projetor destes! Maravilha suprema! Parabéns pelo vídeo! Sensacional amigo!

[@garcez1975]

Bom dia por acaso está interessado em vendê-los obrigado.

[@born_again_torinos]

This was very helpful and humorous.

[@databits]

Thank you, it's been a while since I made that!

[@videomix22]

Chicks dig a 16mm projector!

[@databits]

+videomix22 - they do indeed! Haha!

[@londonnight937]

When the film didn't catch inside the take-up reel when you tried it, when you said "if you do it too soon, your film won't lock into the hole" and I was thinking you're gonna say "and then you look like a dumbass" because that's how I feel whenever that happens xD

[@zomalfa4363]

Any idea how to replace the belts? A few of them are tricky, I don't know what it requires to get the belts on without breaking it.

[@edypalermo7887]

Inget masa lalu,dlu eiki pegangan sy wktu sy msi kerja di layar tancap

[@niaevans6659]

Hi there, thanks for the brilliant video! My projector seems to be running fine apart from no lamp light (which I'm replacing) and both spools aren't twisting at all when I run it - any idea why this might be? Thanks

[@databits]

It is likely the belts which turn the spools are broken/deteriorated. Remove the covers on each "arm" and check them.

[@Bloufo]

You say the projection bulb is "easy to remove" but nevertheless it would have been nice to show how it's done. On a Bell & Howell Filmosound it is indeed very simple. On an EIKI that ejection lever (directly below the lamp) requires some force and is not always that user friendly.

[@peterc2729]

Thanks so much for this...its been a huge help. Can I ask...with the speakers...do I connect the on-board ones to the projector via a phone to phone lead?

[@databits]

A 1/4” plug.

[@Jade_Everfrost]

Are you ever gonna figure out a way to watch sleepyheads for the rest of us? Cause I've never seen it and would love the opportunity

[@johncarcher]

I wonder what year this film was from? If it was around the 1970's then our school would've played it in the mid 1980's.

[@GoogleAccount-pd7kj]

My motor is working fine but despite changing the bulbs a few times the light just doesn't come on. Is this because I already attracted a mate and can get any girl I want? My mate is male if that makes a difference. Cheers

[@mikeringley1422]

love the sarcasm humor. :)

Thank you Mike.

Looks like a Siemens 2000

[@malfattio2894]

I have one of these but the sound is rather "wobbly", as if it's being effected by the shutter

[@Robin-si3vw]

That's probably because the lower loop is too small, or it could be because of a bad/broken flywheel.

[@malfattio2894]

@@Robin-si3vw I've tinkered with it a bit and it seems to be a lubrication problem. The projector had been sitting for 20+ years before I bought it

I wanted a 16mm projector, but I could only afford a 15mm one.

[@Rodmofi]

I just wanted to find out how you say Eiki!

[@brentbetbeder5161]

+Rodmofi I used to pronounce it AYE-KEE. Others used to pronounce the name as EEE_KEY.

[@tetekofa]

Hahahaa awesome, How much for the projector?

[@johncarcher]

I don't think he's selling it.

[@chriscushing1026]

I like this video

[@databits]

Thank you Chris.

databits Thanks from another Chris too!

[@chriscushing1026]

sadly I am going to have to sell my EIKI projector because finding 16mm films to watch are extremely expensive

[@ChristopherSobieniak]

Chris Cushing That is a shame, I had better luck in the 90's when schools were throwing that stuff out every Summer! That's how I started my collection!

[@ChristopherSobieniak]

***** Funny how that is.
