I always thought the SL-0 had two versions of the motor pulley - 50/60hz and
18/24fps. But I think you had
to special order the 18/24 or purchase the parts after the fact.

I'm not at the studio right now, so let me check the Eiki manuals I have on
file and get back to you. I know
of several Eiki parts sources if you needed to buy the part.

The best SL-0 is the SL-0ML which is the "Military" spec model. Joe Beres at
the Walker has my old SL-0ML.
