Hey mate. Cheers from oz. I just bought this same projector. It's well kept. Gave a clean. Waiting on reels. I'm 50. Have other projs. 1st 16mm. Thanks for the vid.
I haven't run into a new projector bulb not working. First make sure that you are putting the right bulb in (some are 24V DC, but machines that use line voltage are 120V. AC Usually, there's a label near the bulb, and the old bulb would obviously be your guide as well. Other than that, I'd start with my voltmeter and check that the right voltage is at the socket, then follow the wiring if you haven't got the proper voltage. I really haven't been working on projectors recently. Good luck.
Hello, so my 1585 doesn't properly work. The wheels don't spin, and the auto-threathing doesn't work. Only the bulb works and there is air coming off from the bulb compartment. Do you know what might be the problem?
The one on the right is pushed down to speed up rewinding - never use it when film is threaded through the film path. The one on the left is the framer knob which is turned left or right to adjust frame centering shown on the screen.
Hello Mr Patterson, ive took the leap from super 8 to this 16mm 📽 i was wondering if the largest reel capacity is 1600ft or can this machine play 2000ft ? Kind regards and many thanks 👍
Hi there, I’ve just found one of these units in my grandparents house, must have sat around 18 years. Powers up and everything works as far as I know but I need to get film for it. Was wondering if you know of anywhere that sells features films on 16mm? Also what’s the screen size it can go to?
Try eBay. Be prepared to spend some serious money if you want a feature film. I'd start out with an inexpensive short film to test the projector before risking an expensive film in it.
@@mp5802 thanks for the reply, yeah 🤦🏼♂️ had a look at a few and 🤯 with the prices. Found some cheap Disney short documentaries that I might get to test it out.
Hi sir. I was hoping I could ask you a question. I have this same model and as I started playing a film today everything just stopped spinning. I imagine the belt is bad. My question is, how can I remove the film that is in the projector? I really appreciate any advice, thank you!
Funny...I have already responded to how to load/unload film on these models. See page 20 of this manual: www.film-tech.com/warehouse/manuals/BH258525902592OPER.pdf
Basically, swing the lens open, then open the sprocket guards on both top and bottom sprockets. Then, gingerly loosen the film off the sprockets and pull it out.
@@mp5802 Thank you so much! I thought that might be the only way but wanted to make sure. I'm so afraid of damaging my film. And I truly appreciate you responding to me after you've already answered this question in the past. I should have done a little more research before bothering you. Thank you. 💘
Hi Mr Patterson. I was wondering, can you make a video on how to manually load the film into one of these? The autoload function isn't working and I want to try and get it through manually to test it, then work on the autoload feature. Thanks!!
Perhaps, I'll do that some day. In the meantime, look at this typical operators guide - it shows manual loading on page 20: www.film-tech.com/warehouse/manuals/BH258525902592OPER.pdf

I haven't worked on one for awhile now, but yes, I have a rather long note on sound troubleshooting. If you want to give me an email address, I'll send the note to you.
The tone dial is the same as any audio device, treble and bass adjustment. No, you don't need to use it. I do think that dialing up the treble makes voices a bit easier to hear plainly on some films.
@@mp5802 we did everything you did in the video, but when we turned it on fwd and put in the auto load button, the rear spindle is not spinning. Do you know by chance what’s wrong
@@rylandgroves If the rear spindle is not turning in fwd, it's most likely a badly slipping drive belt, or a broken worm gear, or both. Watch this video showing it working inside: czcams.com/video/CuI6dyfVfs8/video.html
Thank you! Just bought a 1590 model today. This helps get me started
Glad I could help!
Beautiful and🌹 hansham

Que ruido a carromato pero esos proyectores son buenísimos tienen un buen sonido yo tengo 2 de esos 😊
I was thinking about buying one of these, hard to find info though.
Hey Mike. Do you why my bulb isn’t lighting to project? I replaced it with a brand new bulb

Probable broken worm gear or belt (typically, replace both). Watch this: czcams.com/video/VmHTjm-XzDw/video.htmlsi=5GvvNIvUdWNPkCiJ
Was wondering what buttons on top were for. Cheers

Yes, the reel capacity is up to 2000 ft on this series projector. Most longer films that I've used are on 1600 ft reels (30 min.).

Do you have any how to fix the sound on these? I have 1592 and 1590. The 1592 sound has been sounding bad but fine on the 1590.
I haven't worked on one for awhile now, but yes, I have a rather long note on sound troubleshooting. If you want to give me an email address, I'll send the note to you.
I may have an issue however it doesn’t have the bulb in it so I don’t know if that can cause no sound
@@chrispeak9893 The exciter lamp (the sound bulb) is required for reading the optical soundtrack
What about the “tone” next to the volume. Do you have to use that
The tone dial is the same as any audio device, treble and bass adjustment. No, you don't need to use it. I do think that dialing up the treble makes voices a bit easier to hear plainly on some films.
