| Post subject: | HELP PLEASE ! |
Hi guys I am new to this forum and need help . I bought my first projector a " Rank Aldis Automatic " upon further investigation I believe its actually a Bauer P6 . I cleaned up the machine and she looks fantastic , ran some tape though , its paying perfect but the Exciter lamp not working therefore no sound ! Checked the fuses and the 1,6 amp fuse was blown , replaced it but every time I put in a new fuse and turn on the sound the same fuse blows .I thought it was a short so checked all the wiring , cleaned all switches but still that fuse blows therefore no exciter lamp for the sound . Has anyone had issues like this ? I now think it must be on the main circuit board at the bottom of the projector , could it be Caps or transistors ? I cant seem to find a service manual for this machine therefore cant locate the circuit . I see no ICs on this board therefore it cant be blown IC. I collect old reel to reel tape decks ,turntables and 1970s hi fi s , I can do basic tech work ie replacing caps and component replacements but not that great at fault finding , this is my first projector , think I am Hooked :) So if anyone has some advice that would be great . Guy |

Hello Guy, and welcome to the Forum. This company has a copy of the service manual in English. http://shop.van-eck.net/MA-1098.html They also have manuals for Rank Aldis. |

Hey Guy, The manual would be a digital version, not a paper one so you won't pay shipping costs With kind regards, Thijs |

If you register you can read the manual free. http://suzukigsx1300rhayabusa.tk/rank-a ... nglish.pdf I did a bit of searching and the Rank Aldis is according to other owners, the Bauer P6. |

Robert provided a very useful link and at 12.50 euros it would be worth the download. Richard Patchette or Ken Layton would know a possible solution. Maybe they will chime in. Here is a youtube of the automatic in action. Very impressive design. https://youtu.be/5IylSDuHCVg |

Thanks guys for the advice Yip I think I will have to bite the bullet and get the manual cos I am searching around in the dark here , its gotta be a short somewhere but where ? :) Yes the decals read " Rank Aldis Automatic " but its a Bauer p6 , I am going to find some history behind these machines , they must have been made under licence . Thanks again |

Thanks for that Robert Yes it would appear that Rank Aldis was just the brand name but built by Bauer , really solidly built , plays fantastic except the sound :)
