Proces
Before we carry out a repair, we conduct a preliminary investigation. The costs thereof will be settled in the event of a repair. Due to the preliminary investigation, we are able to provide you with an estimate of the repair costs.
It is of course always possible that there is more defect than the investigation has shown. If the cost estimate is exceeded, we will inform you and discuss the continuation of the repair.
Parts/3D printing
We have an extensive range of parts available for repairs to slide projectors and film projectors. However, it is increasingly common that we can no longer order certain parts. Fortunately, we have the expertise in-house to produce these parts using 3D printing techniques. We also sell these 3D printed parts in our webshop .
We also increasingly make 3D printed parts on request (such as SAAB spare parts, clips, caps, gears, etc.). TheOctober 2015 Digital Movie Magazine has an interesting article about this!
Requirements
We provide a 2 month warranty on all our repairs.
If after 2 months, after various reminders by telephone and/or e-mail from us, payment has not been made or the devices have not been collected, we will assume that you no longer appreciate the device(s) and they will become the property of Van Eck. Video Services.
Frequently Asked Questions – Projector Repair
Can I repair my film projector or slide projector myself?
That depends very much on your own dexterity.
If a projector has stood still for a long time, a repair often starts with:
- remove old grease
- new lubrication
- replacing projector belts
- replace bulb
If you are a bit handy, then the above problems can often be solved yourself, with the right tools and parts.
This solves the problems in many cases. However, not always. Other common problems:
- the lamp foot is defective
- gears are torn and need to be replaced
- electronic components are defective. You can think of capacitors, diodes, resistors, ICs.
- the gripper adjustment is no longer correct
- the frame setting needs to be adjusted
- the cams / cam follower must be replaced.
For these problems it is often necessary to enlist a craftsman.
