Dear Forum Members,
I hope you are all very well. My Name is Slawomir and I am writing to you from Sydney Australia.
Recently, I have become a proud owner of the Pathex Baby projector. Needless to say, these projectors are beautiful machines and I will most definitely aim to expand my collection in the near future.
The purpose of this thread is to: - Document an end to end restoration process of my Pathex Baby projector - Provide high quality photographs representing progress of ongoing work - Seek advice and opinions from forum members
The goal of this project is to: - Recondition / replace projector’s mechanical components - Convert the projector to 12V operation - Paint (powder coat) the unit - Recondition nuts, bolts, leavers etc.
My experience with projector equipment and restoration is between low to none. Saying that, I am sure, I will be able to make up for it with my patience, determination and most of all your advice. I hope information captured here will become an entertaining and informative read for anybody wishing to embark on the Pathex Baby journey.
So here, we go…. Post 1
I am currently waiting for the delivery of my Pathex Baby. It was purchased on an eBay auction in “AS IS” condition. As advised by the seller, the main leaver is ceased and does move. After religiously reading a number of forum threads, I assume that a swollen shutter wheel is the most likely cause.
I have already contacted extremely helpful Mr. Ron Ashton from UK who advised me that obtaining a new shutter wheel should not be a problem.
I am now waiting anxiously for the delivery after which I will share more detailed pictures.
For now, please find attached photographs as provided by the seller on an auction page.
