John, welcome. The price you paid was not high for this model., but it does reflect the problems you face. The difficulty in threading is often down to bad trimming and curl of the film; read the book carefully on this. The broken sliders are a different matter; the actual controls are no longer made. Bolex(Eumig) will repair them if you remove them yourself but the cost is enormous. I repaired mine myself using parts from other old controls, but it was not easy as access to them requires removing and replacing the amplifier board, which I would not recommend unless you know what you are doing. The slipping take up is a common fault. I suggest you search the Forum using Eumig G926 as keywords in various combinations; no doubt others will offer you specific advice, Once one of these is working properly they are really brilliant machines and much sought after. Adding a 'scope lens so you can screen 'Scope prints is relatively easy; there are many available, but again search the Forum for advice before you buy. And don't be afraid to ask questions. Good luck, Martin
