Slide Projector Pinhole slide – lamp adjustments
Slide projectors require accurate alignment of the lamp in order to prolong the life of the lamp. To perform these adjustments a pin hole slide is required. We do not sell pinhole slides but here’s a picture of one.
Use a material that’s not going to burn as the lamp gets very hot.
The slide measures 50mm x 50mm x2mm thick. There is a 1mm hole in the center of the slide. Draw lines from opposite corners and where they cross drill a 1mm hole.
The flip side of the pin hole slide with instructions on how to align the lamp on a Paximat projector.
The alignment procedure can usually be found in the service manual for the relevant projector.
