Would like to know why CHINON projectors seem to run louder than most. |

There was a company you probably heard of in the UK, Derann: way back in the 70s they used to have a hire library; one day in 'Movie Maker ' magazine, they announced that due to films coming back with torn sprockets, they would refuse to hire any more films to owners of Chinon projectors. Chinon, according to the magazine, had a good reputation regarding cine cameras, but not so projectors. |

Thanks for the info. I just purchased a CHINON 7500 NEW out of the box for $100.00 post paid to use as a back up machine. I have an ELMO ST1200HD M O which has lost its sound and has other small issues and is currently being repaired by LEON NORRIS. I have not received the CHINON yet but knew it was far from being the quality of the ELMO. Having a 150w lamp and 12w output I thought it would produce a bright image and strong sound. I just found out that the DNE lamp only has a 12 hour life span, not good. I will carefully keep an eye on film wear if in use. |

Robert, Wasn't Chinon once a brand name used by Dixons own products? |

Two days ago I purchased (through Craigslist) in good working condition Chinon SP-350 (paid $10). It's a low noise machine and has smooth threading. I put the machine on trail by watching four 400Ft films with sound and had no problems whatsoever. P.S. I'm still looking for a free PDF copy of user manual for my GAF 3000S machine. Anybody? |

Ramnish--it may be helpful in your search: I am 99% certain that GAF3000s is the same machine as a Chinon 6100 projector. |

Chris: Thank you so much for your kind suggestion and also for your time & efforts. During my search for Chinon 6100 projector I found that "Chinon Sound 8000" is a perfect (if not perfect, almost perfect) match to the GAF 3000S. Here are the links for comparison:- Chinon Sound 8000 - http://www.super8data.com/database/proj ... n_8000.htm GAF 3000S - http://www.super8data.com/database/proj ... _3000s.htm Now in my quest for a free pdf - - - the Chinon 8000 is also added.  Anybody please? |

Yes Mick Chinon was exclusive to Dixons; they also brought out their own Super 8 film, Prinz Colour; it was the worst I ever used, seemed to be mostly green ,purple, and brown. |

Chinon projectors may well have improved from the time Derann were having problems, but it's best to be aware of this with your precious film. |

While we are discussing CHINON can anyone tell me what the black plastic screw off cap is mounted on top of the motor on the 7500? |
