Author Topic: EX 6100 16mm question Christopher Spiwak Film Handler Posts: 10 From: Utica, NY, USA Registered: May 2009 posted 06-08-2011 11:44 AM                        We have an Eiki EX 6100 16mm projector we are in the process of getting rid of. Where do I find the S/N on the lamphouse or pedastal?  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA.

If you want to sell the unit, you can post it in the for-sale section of this forum.  |  IP: Logged Christopher Spiwak Film Handler Posts: 10 From: Utica, NY, USA Registered: May 2009 posted 06-08-2011 01:19 PM                        Thanks! I thought I looked all over but couldn't find it there. I'll look again later. Our company has agreed to donate it to a local theatre. I need to come up with details to take it "out of inventory" for us. Hasn't been used here for many years so there's no documentation anywhere that I can find.  |  IP: Logged Gary A.

If you find screw holes but no plate, you'll have to be inventive. I don't recall encountering serial number anywhere else on or inside projector.  |  IP: Logged Bruce Hansen Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 847 From: Stone Mountain, GA, USA Registered: Dec 1999 posted 06-12-2011 04:56 PM                     It is where Gary said, on my EX-6100.  |  IP: Logged Robert Throop Master Film Handler Posts: 412 From: Vernon, NY USA Registered: Jun 99 posted 07-09-2011 11:50 AM                     The Capitol theatre in Rome, NY is the recipient of this projector. There are some issues since the machine hadn't been used for many years. For starters the douser won't open. There is an operators manual on this site but I am looking for a service manual complete with schematics. Any help is appreciated. Thanks  |  IP: Logged Bruce Hansen Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 847 From: Stone Mountain, GA, USA Registered: Dec 1999 posted 07-09-2011 07:20 PM                     The douser on the one I got was stuck when I first got it. You should be able to free it up, and put a little oil on it, then work it a number of times.  |  IP: Logged Robert Throop Master Film Handler Posts: 412 From: Vernon, NY USA Registered: Jun 99 posted 07-10-2011 02:43 PM                     Many thanks to Scott Norwood for sending me a scan of this manual!  |  IP: Logged
