hi joost, lisa
and what about those Eiki's who master/slave a separate perfotape player
for doubleband projection. they have a extra motor unit. i have two of
those eiki's here in rotterdam (including the perfotape player). maybe
molleman can connect them and let them run sync easily. or maybe the
technician of the original eiki dealer (Avim) in the netherlands as i
think the machines come from there.
