It has been this video that gave me the idea of doing 35mm at home. Today about two years later, I put up some video showing my attempt of realizing this - maybe one with better quality to come later, once everything works the way I want it... Thanks for giving me the motivation to do this - it has turned out to be some nice hobby. ;D
@goldoderblut This particular machine uses a 1000 watt incandescent lamp in the rear of the machine which is set at 90 degrees to the film path, it uses mirrors to guide the light through the film and lens. Originally this machine took very large and rare globes, but has been changed to run on more common ones. The projector is powered via normal (Australian) 240V mains supply. Originally one cable could power the whole machine, but this one has been modified to take an external exciter supply.
Hey Vulpyro, the sound is recorded as an optical representation of the sound, like a long thin waveform that runs along the side of the picture. A light shines through it and onto a solar cell, converting it into sound.
Yes, but there are caveats. Films manufactured after about 2005 used a process to try and reduce the environmental impact of film printing. They used a cyan dye soundtrack rather then the previous standard of black and white dye. These new films require a red LED light source for the exciter. They still play but the volume is much lower and noise is higher. This is an issue with all projectors manufactured prior to 2005, though most from commercial service will have been retrofitted already.
This machine looks realy nice - it has even the right size for home usage^^. I am not familiar with those so I hope you will excuse me asking you two foolish questions. For the first I wonder about the luminous intensity - it doesn't look like it's using a Xenon - or is it? And secondly does this projector run just with AC power connection / does it require no external rectifier?

RecordCouncil I know they use it in Drive In Theaters.
Gute, stabile Kinotechnik funktioniert noch in 50 Jahren!
Welcome to the fold! It is a very space intensive hobby, but I feel that the result is worth it.

OMG I want one!

Great video!
What sort of lens do you use?
Is it an Isco? Do you need an adapter for modern lens or is this standard diameter?
Hello,ı want this projektor,is there any seller?
How did you manage to buy one of those babies? They were never intended for residential use.
A free Pepsi for a dollar?
If i were to buy some 35mm trailers off of ebay, Would they work on this?
