Hi, I just brought out my uncle's old Bolex, not used I'd estimate since 1970. It's perfect except that the switch won't turn. It looks like maybe I can take it off the body of the projector, clean and lubricate it and it should turn?

Thanks

Peter

I haven't had any of mine apart for quite some time but I seem to recall it is not really easy to remove it. Can't imagine why it is stuck as I've not had that problem. On another topic, make certain the 3 drive belts are not gooey and turned soft.
