RECOMMENDED PORTABLE QUARTZ LAMP PROJECTORS Bell & Howell 1574/1579
Lamp: EMM/EKS
Exciter: BAK
52mm lens barrel diameter (also Bauer)
This manual threading model runs at 18 and 24 fps. The weak link is a
plastic worm gear that over time will crack, but can be replaced with a
modern plastic part that is long lasting.
Eiki SSL
Lamp: ELC
Exciter: BRK
42.5mm lens barrel diameter (also Hokushin, Hortson, Philips/Norelco,
Kinoton)
Hokushin SC-210
Lamp: ELC
Exciter: BSS
42.5mm lens barrel diameter (also Eiki, Hortson, Philips/Norelco, Kinoton)
Probably the lightest weight in a portable quartz lamp projector, very
compact. One of the gentlest slot loading machines out there.
Kodak Pageant
Lamp: EJL, or substitute ELC
Exciter: BSK
Lens barrel diameter is unique and does not cross over with other
projectors, wide lenses can be hard to find Eastman Kodak manufactured the
last model Pageant (250S) from March 1977 to January 1983. This model
projector has the Super 40 shutter (which minimizes flicker when projecting
at 18 fps for films shot at 18 fps), and lever for optical sound focus.
