Hello all! Though I'm new here, I've been an enthusiast of small gauge film for quite a while now. Part of why I'm posting right now is to ask for a bit of help with a projector I acquired yesterday, the Eumig Mark S 802D.
It's the first decent Multi-8 projector I've been lucky enough to own; and things were going well until last night when I was removing the large "S" sprocket so I could play a regular 8 film. In short, the sprocket I speak of is currently and perhaps permanently out of commission.
While I do plan on fixing it and reinforcing the small alignment pins that snapped off of it, for the time being I was wondering if some helpful soul out there happened to have a broken/parts Eumig Dual 8 and wouldn't mind selling me the part that I require. It seems like it was used on at least a few different Eumigs that have a "D" designation in their product name, and is part number 718.1175/8 according to the manual.
Also, upon further examination of the contents of my projector, I appear to be missing the "S" sleeve for the reel shaft as well, which is part number 725.5710/2 if someone should happen to have a spare around.
Another question I have pertains to the claw mechanism and I was wondering if any other 802D owners could help with this. I think that I'm looking at the right part, but when checking for the "fingers" that will break off if the claw has not been retracted, I see only one on the lower part of it. I seem to remember reading that there would be two of these pins to pull the film, and there is a hole where one would have been riveted in. I just wanted to check if the upper pin did break off, is this projector just good for parts at this point or will it work okay? Nothing looks broken, and it doesn't seem like the original owners ever changed the stuff out to run regular 8, some I'm hoping that all is well.
Anyway, I welcome any help at all and hope to be an active member of this forum for some time to come, also, a big thanks to anyone who took the time to read through this rather lengthy post.

Thank you all for your helpful replies, I apologize for not being able to respond sooner.
Robert - no worries about those sleeves. Since they're universal in design, I should have one or two from a dual-8 Bell & Howell hiding around here somewhere.
Maurizio - this is what I imagined the case to be, as the sprocket holes are spaced differently on the two formats, but just wanted to be sure something wasn't amiss - thanks for letting me know!
Akshay - thank you for the info on John Cappazo, I will contact him today.
If I'm able to locate the sprocket I need, I will update this post immediately. Otherwise, if someone else should have a broken Eumig that they're parting out, I'd appreciate hearing from you.
Thanks again, and all the best.
