Many times I have written about my Eumig having a problem, and I finally figured out what it is, though I'm not sure as to what I can do about it.
I was observing the claw mechanism again, I thought, off the top of my head, "Why don't I look at the claw mechanism's on my other projectors?"
I did, and found, on all the other projectors, that along with that claw mechanism, there is a "pin" on the end of the claw, (I'll call it a pin), which the claw on my Eumig, doesn't have one.
No doubt, at some point, when I took off the main pieces that film film passes through to clean them, I somehow caused the "pin" on the claw to snap off, as the claw was unfortunately in it's most extended position.
The question is, can I take the "pin" off of another projector that doesn't work, and perhaps solder it onto that claw on the Eumig? It seems like my only option.
Any advice?

That's another thing about that model Paul, I've never had that sharp of a playback of optical, blended with good low range. I have other projectors. The Yashica still actually runs, but the optical sound is somewhat muffled.
The Sankyo has optical but is incredibly quiet, very low volume, and the projector scratches horribly. I don't even use that one anymore.
... but that Eumig, great booming optical sound, no warble, great high's and lows, excellent.
Your right, they are rather rare. ... besides all of that, when you have nearly 40 optical sound super 8 features, (not to mention short subjects), you need an excellent projector, though I do admit, I'd love to have one of those ELMO mag and opt num bers.
