EIKI ELF RT1 16mm. SOUND PROJECTOR

This is the popular Japanese made ELF RT - 1 with autothread facility. It has a brilliant 1:1.3/50 'Kowa' Super Prominar lens. It produces optical sound from a 12 watt amplifier and 8 ohm 15 watt speaker. The Elf has two brightness settings in forward and reverse, microphone input, volume, bass and treble controls. It has a very bright, steady picture. The film path has a loop-restoring facilty, threading light, and single frame facility. Silent speed is by opening the back cover and adjusting the internal belt pulley. The case has a metallic blue finish. The spool arms extend to accommodate reels of up to 2000' ft. capacity. The back cover and front cover are of strong plastic fibre in green. The front cover doubles as speaker. Speaker cable is easily stored in the soft blue vinyl protective dustcover.

The lens focus control has a special non-slip compound plastic friction sleeve to the focusing arbor. This is prone to perish leaving the lens focus loose and inoperative to adjust. While the spool arm neoprene plastic drive belts can be easily replaced, the special focus sleeve is less obtainable.
