I am in the process of setting up my home projector but urgently need some manuals for;
Western Electric 206 soundhead
Western Electric tube amp I think No. 5
Cummins and Wilson 35mm projector model D or EI can pay for photocopying/postage
Any help greatly appreciated
Paul

You aren't actually going to use the WE 206 are you??? It was aneat machine, but the fidelity of both the sound gate design and the optics leaves a lot to be desired! Nonetheless, I have parts, books, and data on them so email me with your mailing address and I will copy and send you what I can! (I even have NEW drive belts!) As for the #5 amp? Are you sure it is a #5, or is it a W-5?
What types of tubes are in it and can you email pix? I have data on most all WE apperatus, but that one does not sound familiar! I am afraid I do not have any info on the projector! But if someone else provides it, I sure would like to get copies!------------------

Hi paul
Why dont you take a drive along Wellington rd
and see a pair of C&W mod EH {same as yours}
on WE 206 heads fitted for stereo to a Smart SR300.
I have seen your machines running at the Pinewood cinema.:]
Also have WE data and C&W info.best regards

You could probably use a 12AX7 tube amp
if you choose to consider it.
