Barry's suggestion may not necessarily work with the 641 and the 642 which were introduced in 1962 and are often found by house clearance specialists.
They had a mains lead with a special four pin socket which was only used by Bell & Howell and, more often than not, never seemed to be with their projector, hence eBay ads have the words: "Sold as seen, unable to check the projector working as there is no mains lead."
As I said before, these could be 53-years old and their worm gears may have disintegrated, making the projector virtually worthless, their only value for would be for spares.
To renew a worm could cost upwards of £150, plus the cost of the worm. The 641 worm would be cheaper than the 642 as it is a no-animation version, however you are looking at probably another £50.
