As they seem so scarce, I wondered if there are any Canon current or former projector owners here and if so, would they rate the projectors highly?

Nothing special at all. Hp Photosmart C5183 Printer Driver. However, it is a much earlier machine than the 1000, and is not a sound machine. I think Canon's strength is in their cameras. IP: Film Goddess From: Sunnyvale, CA USA Registered: Sep 2011 posted December 19, 2011 12:38 PM I actually have 2 Canon PS-1000's. One I bought new with a Canon 514 XL-S camera in 1979.

When my first projector started having problems I bought a second off eBay. Epson R230 Adjustment Program Software. I really like this projector. Great lens.stable picture.and decent sound when connected to external speakers. Here is a video I made a couple of years ago when I was just starting to do telecine transfers with this projector. I don't use a wall projections setup anymore.but I still use the projector.

If you have any specific questions, I'll see if I can answer them. -------------------- Janice 'I'm having a very good day!' Richard Dreyfuss - Let It Ride (1989).

He always seems to get bidders to pay way above the perceived normal value and always lists projectors as having variable speed even when this isn't the case - which I think is misleading to the point of deception but he has 100% feedback so obviously no-one cares. IP: Phenomenal Film Handler From: California Registered: Aug 2007 posted December 20, 2011 12:55 AM Adrian, do a forum search for my several posts concerning the PS-1000. It's a remarkable machine but mine is now nearly unusable at about 100 hours' use. Very complicated inside, also, makes an Eumig or Eiki 16mm look like something's missing. IP: Film Goddess From: Sunnyvale, CA USA Registered: Sep 2011 posted December 20, 2011 04:54 PM Bill.You are so right about the PS-1000's engineering complexity. This past weekend my step dad gave me his Keystone K-560.

Of course it wasn't working so I opened up the back. I think the picture comparison speaks for itself.but I definitely had the 'somethings missing' feeling:-) -------------------- Janice 'I'm having a very good day!'

IP: Jedi Master Film Handler From: New York, NY, USA Registered: Apr 2007 posted December 20, 2011 05:07 PM I have three Cannon P-1000 each of which was running perfect until the belts gave up.

In my opinion, these belts are almost impossible to install without literally taking the machine apart. I am thinking about selling them as they are, as much as I like the 1000, I am giving up on them! Good luck to all of you owners of this projector. Jon IP: Film God From: Croydon, London, UK Registered: Aug 2004 posted December 20, 2011 06:17 PM Thanks for the very interesting replies. Sounds like the PS-1000 is a mixture of good and exasperating characteristics.

If there's no way to install a new belt without major dismantling, I wonder if it might be feasible to try one of those 'home-made' belts where you weld the two ends together - IF it would be feasible to get the belt in position before the ends are joined? -------------------- Adrian Winchester IP: Phenomenal Film Handler From: USA Registered: Jan 2009 posted December 20, 2011 06:42 PM If that would work it would solve a lot of problems! Bill IP: Expert Film Handler From: St. Louis, Missouri USA Registered: Dec 2009 posted December 20, 2011 07:26 PM 'belts that you weld together'.where are these available?and has anyone had any success with them? IP: Jedi Master Film Handler From: New York, NY, USA Registered: Apr 2007 posted December 20, 2011 08:46 PM It's not only one belt, the Canon P-1000 requires 5 belts and each has its own intricate contours.
