Anyone who wants to watch their memories on an 8mm-Films get some surprises now. Not only the movie now have an relevated ideal value, also the projector has its singularities. My 8-mm-Movie-Projector "Pentax P80" (built 1964/65) showed after the turn-on and during the movie demonstration short smoke tokens, which should indicate an over-stressed potentiometer. This can be replaced by a phase cut control.
In addition, the stock of the Narva bulbs is soon exhausted. This can be done relatively easily by a halogen bulb. We are currently in a moving time, where bulbs are replaced by LEDs. The Movie Projector goes over time with the latest technology. The light bulb can be exchanged for an LED with a little bit of fingertip. Thanks to reduced power consumption and reduced heat generation, the Movie Projector Pentax P80 now also contributes to the reduction of CO2 emissions.
Anyone who wants to stand up to a market today must always be matched to the given requirements. The movie projector Pentax P80 also meets this challenge and now presents itself as computer-aided.
