You don't need rewinds...the LPU also does high speed rewinding. Reverse the reels (full reel back to other side) and run the film around the roller guide (but not through the projector). The exact same function, but faster!

I'm supposing you'll need a set of rewinds for rewinding this

@Videogamehistorian00 The LPU also high speed rewinds. Flip the reels, run the film through the roller the same way (but not through the projector)

Impressive. How the hell did you acquire that add-on feature? Will it work with ANY 16mm projector? RCA? Singer/Telex? Kodak?

@Rlotpir1972

The Eiki Long Play is a standalone unit, so it will work with virtually any 16mm projector. Units that have upper and lower payloads (as opp;osed to front and back) will require an additional means to guide the film.

6000' (24") capacity reels from Goldberg Bros as shown will hold approx 3 hours of continuous film. These reels have the E-Z Hubs to reduce tension on the film by allowing the sides to move freely.

@Rlotpir1972 works with any tapletop portable - the white roller guide came with the unit and is used to help guide the film path from the supply reel, which is angled slightly inward.

Some more clever owners have fabricated adapters to allow the unit to be run from beneath on a space-saving portable a/v cart...

Indeed it is...a 2585 autoload...

This looks like a Bell & Howell projector
