I just bought a fumeo super 8mm film projector. Im able to find a voltage up converter without any trouble but they do not convert frequency.Will there be any harm to the projector running it at 60hz? Will I notice a slight increase in speed? Thanks!!

I don't know the inside of the Fumeo machines, but there may well be some sort of mechanical adjustment inside; if not, and if the thing is belt driven, which is quite likely, find someone with a lathe, and get them to turn you up a suitable pulley(s). If there is a belt tension adjustment, or if one pully is much larger than the other, you may get away with just changing the smaller one. If both pulleys are of similar size, you will probably have to replace both, making one larger, and the other smaller, to keep the belt length the same.

Thanks for all the replies.There are plenty of voltage convertors on the market but none will convert frequency. Anyone know of a frequency convertor? Thanks!
