Author Topic: Philips 16mm Steve McAndrew Film Handler Posts: 95 From: North Yorkshire, UK Registered: May 2015 posted 10-01-2015 03:28 AM                     Hi I have just bought a Philips (Kinoton?) 16mm projector. The model number on it is LCB0019. Does anyone have any info/advice on this machine? Thanks in advance.  |  IP: Logged Josef Grassmann Film Handler Posts: 6 From: 53773 Hennef / Germany Registered: Feb 2009 posted 10-01-2015 01:29 PM                     Hello, Congratulation. It seems that you own a Philips/Kinoton FP 18 16mm projector. Normally it should be called LCB 0018. I have never heared FP 19 is on market. Maybe second generation of FP 18. It is provided with a pin cylinder system instead of a real maltese cross system, which had been cheaper in production. Built before 1970 if serial number is below 850. regards Josef  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

The LCB 0016 - 0019 would refer to the FP16 projector line though we've never referred to them by that numbering. Generally, we just use FP16 name. I suppose it had an "EL" number too. In any event, the LCB 0019 is equipped with the 500W Xenon Lamphouse. For completeness: LCB 0016 is suitable for arc lamp / lamphouse LCB 0017 equipped with incandescent lamp 12V, 150W LCB 0018 suitable for SPP lamphouse.  |  IP: Logged Steve McAndrew Film Handler Posts: 95 From: North Yorkshire, UK Registered: May 2015 posted 10-02-2015 03:12 PM                     Hi Thanks for the replies. When I bought it the projector was not being used with a 500w Lamp House, in fact it was using a Xenon Conversion Magna Arc lamphouse (which I also now own!) What was the actual difference between a FP18 & FP16?

FP 16 uses a more standard clutch system. Also there is a clearance issue on the large reels on the FP 18 that is not there with the FP 16.  |  IP: Logged
