Hey guys, i had a bad thing happen last night.
I was watching a brand new print of "The Jetsons", (fun) and upon rewinding it, the pulley mechanism (with the rollers that you wind the film thru for rewind, that outer pulley, I think that's what it's called), broke, sending the little wheels off. I'm doing my best to locate the little parts that attached that together. Can this be sucessfully super glued back together?
The projector runs just fine, it's just this outer wheel that's the problem.
Help Por favor!

Hi Osi,
That rewind pulley is kind of strange. It's actually a split pulley which is spring loaded. Presumably this is so the pulley can open up to accomodate the skew film paths during rewinding. Both sides of the pulley must spin freely on the shaft, and the spring is located between the inner white pulley and the black flip-up lever, so that it is pushing the two halves of the pulley together.
I do not like rewinding on the 926 because of the reversing of the film path through the pulley and the skew approach of the film path entering the spools, so I do all my rewinding on other projectors, usually an old Eumig 802.
