Jan: According the halogen lamp box, it's an Osram 64514 120v/300 W, I saw it seems to use an GX-6.35 socket, I think you could buy them from the right electronic components provider; I don't know if the adapter to fit the socket in the projector could be bought too or it's a "made in home" adaptor, but it does not look a problem difficult to solve (at least for an engineer friend of mine ;) I still did not find a slide projector without problems with the cardboards mounts, my only slides with cardboards mounts are those 35mm processed by Kodak in the seventies and eighties that included the mount,otherwise I use plastic mounts.Anyway the P-11 has "extremely important" (Technical Report) latches for the magazines transport requiring to be adjusted via a lever at the exact distance regarding the transparency system, I still did not understand the issue very well, but it has to do with the exact magazine advance to insert the 6x6 or 4x4 (mounted 35mm slides); I think some P-11 users complaints about jammed slide/ sliders have to do with these precise adjustments. I use the P-11 for 6x6 (7x7 plastic mounted)slides only and I'm not sure if I want to upgrade it for halogen lamps yet, however I think I'll do it with the friend of mine electronic engineer help; BTW I agree with you the P-11 is easy to focus with the remote control.- Carlos --- El jue 12-mar-09, Jan Decher <Jan.Decher@xxxxxxx> escribió: > De: Jan Decher <Jan.Decher@xxxxxxx> > Asunto: [rollei_list] Re: Rollei 66 Dual Projector future > Para: rollei_list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Fecha: jueves, 12 de marzo de 2009, 10:33 am > Carlos, > > You are right the bulbs are 300 and 500 W.
