Hi to all,
Hi Bandersen,
I replied to your enquiry about your Ekco TV on the ARF forum, but maybe you haven't had time to read the thread since you posted :

The Aurora SCRF "economical" series of standards converters do not change the frame rate between 25 FPS and 30FPS (or vice-versa), in your case, the British model converts 625/25 to 405/25. There is no model aside from the World Converter which will accept 525/30 and convert to 405/25.
In my opinion, you could use the UK model (with built-in RF System A modulator) feeding it from a cheap Euro DVD player with 625/25 baseband output & a Zone 2 (Europe) DVD disk.
There are also relatively cheap true PAL/SECAM/NTSC Standards Converters (consumer grade) which really change lineage and frame rate. See brands such as Atlona on E-Bay in video accessories section.
I've run a bunch of them in my personal systems and they do an astonishing job vs what used to be 50K-100K$ +Broadcast converters.
or
Attempt to run the Ekco with 405/30, just with a slight adjustment to the V-Hold frequency. However, i do not know if the UK SCRF model will sync with a 30 Hz frame rate.
Maybe Darryl H. (Aurora designer) will read this thread...
