I recently picked up a Copal CP 402 sound projector.The unit has some issues.The fan runs when the switch is turned forward or reverse,but the spindles do not move at all nor does the lamp come on.Any thoughts on what the problems might be? Thanks!

It may be two different problems. It can be a blets problem for the arms ans corrosion for the lamp (the lampholder need to be replaced sometimes).

Hi Dominique,
Thank you for the quick reply.I had a spare lamp (new) that I tried but no luck there.The belts (two in this machine) seem okay,but maybe they're indeed worn out.I'm wondering if I'm looking at a possible electrical issue.I checked the fuses,and they don't appear to be blown.
