Hello,
I'm very new to vintage projectors. I purchased a Keystone K-108 and hope to get it running. I was told it works but I want to make sure I cover all bases before I plug it in. Specifically, I think I should oil it where needed. I have no manual but I can see 8 red outlined circular holes.
What kind of oil should I use and how much?
Is there a source for a manual? I've been unsuccessful online so far.
Thank you and be prepared for many more questions.
Stu

Stu welcome to the hobby and to fiddling with old projectors, with most of these older projectors you are safe to use some general 3 in 1 oil and yes the red marked holes are the spots to lubricate....It is possible someone on the forum has a manual for your model of Keystone, but if I remember those and the 109 are very similar to the Revere's and are very durable and solid little workhorses so I would lubricate it and make sure the wiring is not frayed in any way and fire it up....

Thank you both so much! I'll purchase some oil and fire her up.
I would appreciate the Manuel and will PM you.
I know I'll have more questions.
