Seeking any information about the xenon setup for a Hokushin X-300. In particular, need a new igniter for the arc.
I know this is a long shot, but we never know till be ask.
Thanks everyone!

16mm is still film. Many small theatres had a 16mm arc/zenon projector set up in the booth along with the 35mm projectors plus many just showed 16mm only. I collect 16mm trailers and have Kodak projectors that are very bright with just a regular bulb. Good luck on your search for what you need. Just watch out you don't burn the 16mm film up with a hot bright type light source.
