An Ampro Super Stylist Adventure (16mm Sound Projector)

- Originally shown in 3 parts I've always wanted an Ampro Super Stylist and found one recently on eBay that looked halfway decent. I've owned just about every major make 16mm projector at one time or another but never an Ampro. This is a "start to finish" video project and hope you'll enjoy it :)

I rebuilt the amplifier one one of these models back in 1978. There was 1 sand covered power resistor burned open to add to the problem. A bit tight of a chassis but I was able to complete the job.
Great
Now I need to add another projector to my collection. Thank you
I don't remember the last time I enjoyed someone's youtube vid this much, great job, good sir :)!!!
I found a late 1940's Ampro Premier Model 20 a few years ago at the flea market for 7.00, which is somewhat larger than this projector. It mechanically worked great after a little cleaning & oiling.Tthe power amp was strong with no hum etc. but the exciter lamp would not light up. It turned out to be a bad capacitor, after replacing that everything worked fine. They are built like a tank.
Great video. I'd love a 16mm sound projector - have done ever since my 1970s schooldays when i spent more time watching the B&H Filmosound 16 more than the actual films! . As a L&H fan I'd like to say a big thank you for the music you used too!
amazing experience, Congratulations!
A few years ago I bought an Ampro Stylist Major, similar to the one above except that it had a 12" speaker in a separate case the same size as the projector case. Also the flywheel on the soundhead was built inside the projector, the chute was also replaced with rollers making the film much easier to thread.
Ampro Stylist major I’ve been looking for one of those for a while now Great find.
@@Jeremywchilds1975 I got mine here in the U.K. at the 9.5 Get together at Harpendon. As you perhaps know one of several film/equipment gatherings held in the U.K. perhaps your best place to find a decent one.
Enjoyed this. I remember when the Stylist came out. It was considerably lighter than the other Ampros. T think it was because the amplifier was AC-DC and had no power transformer. (The means the chassis is Hot.).

The 3 claw shuttle produces a very steady pic. The amplifier is well designed, and uses novel circuitry such as the high frequency oscillator for quiet exciter lamp operation and light weight due to the very small high frequency power transformer. This is much like a modern cell phone charger. The electrolytics in mine were all still perfect.
I have had two Ampro P20's and one Stylist mine where the 110volts version with separate transformer made in the UK by Simplex.Out of all the projectors I've had since 1968 both 16mm and 8mm these Ampro's are not my favourite unfortunately.
great video... thanks
Hi Please can i ask did your Ampro projector come with a transformer?
I have the exact same model in silver.I did not get a transformer with mine just the 4 pin cable so i put a plug on the other end and put straight to the plug socket and it works a treat but when i use the Ampro on an RCD breaker switch the Ampro just flicks out and won't work? So am i suppose to use a transformer on the Ampro or not? I have seen other Ampro's on ebay with a seperate Ampro transformer?
i just gave my husband this for christmas and it seems to be working great except for the movie sound. We hooked up the amp for the projector and it seems to be working (we hear a buzz) but we can't seem to get the sound from the movie. any thoughts?

Hello, i have Premier 20 and i try to perform projecting of film but unfortunately i have plenty horizontal lines. I try to adjust by the knob but unsuccessfully! I use transformer 220/110, 50 Hz ! And my film i think is 24 fps? Do you know something? Thank you in advance.
I have an EIKI SL-O slot load 16mm projector in like new shape with all new belts and lamps, and I also have an old Forway Industries 16mm projector from the late 40's or early 50's in decent cosmetic condition for its age... WORKS like new. Do you have any idea's of the value of these two machines?
I bought one of these recently at a thrift store for about the same price. A beautiful machine but I found rebuilding the amplifier nearly impossible due to it’s cramped build very difficult to work on. IMO I was wondering if you had any luck?
You can replace the amplifier
Hi-- I just got an Ampro Stylist and am doing some research on how to restore it-- what's involved in replacing the capacitors in the amp? I've never done this before, but am reasonably handy and have done some light rewiring work, so I want to give it a go. Any tips or pointers to resources would be greatly appreciated!
Why do you like so "odd" projectors like this one and the "ubiquitous" Victor?
i have one but i opened up to oil the motor , iremoved the motor and opened up and i mest up the wires and i can"t get the motor going ,any ideas?
I have an AMPRO Stylist and a Bell and Howell Auto Load Focus splicing machine that were my dad's and are in great shape…do you know anyone who might be interested in them?
Good ❤️ 🏠🦀

Hi did you get a transformer with yours? I have exactly the same projector and works straight from the plug to the projector with the cable that came with mine but if i run it on an RCD it keeps tripping out the fuse box? Am i supposed to use mine with a transformer??
My cat does the same thing
