No pilot motors or extra work, I have 16mm BAUERS and CINEMECS that have been running this way for years. ------------------ ALL PARTS FOR VICTOR AND KALART VICTOR 16MM PROJECTORS.SERVICE TO 35 AND 16MM PROJECTION EQUIPMENT. 35MM sprockets made to order.  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-06-2002 10:13 AM                     Actually you should use a motor run type capacitor not a start type as they are designed to be switched off line after intermitent use The value of the cap is dependent on the amount of starting torque required and the motor. In some cases it may require switch some of the caps out of the circuit after it starts otherwise the motor will run very hot  |  IP: Logged Stan Gunn Expert Film Handler Posts: 176 From: Clematis, in the hills near Melbourne Australia Registered: Aug 2000 posted 02-06-2002 11:48 PM                        You are Right Gordon, I tend to use run caps for all applications, ------------------ KALEE FOREVER.
