Hello, I am new to this forum. I have recently acquired a Keystone 2500 projector in very good condition for a very modest price. While everything seemed to work fine at first, I discovered that once loaded with film, the forward motion is uneven, causing a partial, distorted picture. However, watching the film in reverse motion is smooth and perfect. I suspect there is a problem with the forward wheel as it seems to have play in it. Is it repairable (how?), or should I start looking for a better projector? Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks, Michael

Janice, Thank you for replying to my post. I was trying an old 8mm standard film. The forward play has an uneven speed, it seems that half the time it slows down, whether it is loaded with film or not, like there is some resistance happening there. It is irregular, and I can hear a variation in the sound the motor makes. The images were cropped in normal play, not all of the picture was showing and part of the next picture was showing on the screen, also the image was garbled when it would slow down. What puzzles me is that the picture is nice and even while running in reverse. I don't know much (yet) about film projectors, so I have no idea what the framer is or how to adjust it, but I have repaired many things in my life so I am not afraid to learn and attempt to repair if I know what to do.
