Greetings! I recently purchased a Eumig 610D in very good condition. It worked beautifully for 2 reels, but during the viewing of the 3rd reel the film jammed. Turns out that there was a 6" section that was missing the sprocket holes. The film, now frozen in place, started bubbling as the lamp did it's work and I quickly turned off the projector. I did clear out two pieces of film from the gate area, and haven't found any more.
From that point on, the auto threading stopped working. When the lens/gate is swung open you can see the claws moving rapidly, but it's clear that they aren't sticking out far enough to engage the sprocket holes. I removed the back and wiggled the mechanism gently with a tool in hopes of freeing something up, but that didn't help.
The other thing I noticed is the small metal tab assembling that sits just below the lens. I can't figure out what that does, exactly, but it appears as though it's supposed to make contact with another metal assembly above - but it never does. I'm wondering if these need to connect in some way in order to make the auto threading engage properly?
I'm posting some photos of the areas. Any advice would be appreciated! Love the unit and hope I can get it to work again.
Tnx!
