Christian,
"How/where do I adjust the speed control assembly?"
At the risk of repeating myself, try looking at earlier posts!

Christian, If you really have tried all the simple suggestions others have posted for you ,try lubing the machine as previously suggested.If that doesn't cure it the only logical conclusion is that the basic speed range setting of your machine has slipped out of adjustment, and the machine's speed range needs to be set up properly.
Read Tim Christian's posts in this thread...

which includes the extract I copied in one of my posts. The information is explicit and detailed IF you have not tried the full reset as he describes, then perhaps you should do it?
If you have ignored it because it looks too complicated or difficult, then seek the aid of a good mechanical hobbyist."
John appears to have repeated the advice you have been given before on this very lengthy thread. If the problem is you simply do not feel capable of carrying out any of the suggestions, then I repeat the advice of consulting a good mechanical hobbyist; none of this is total rocket science.
However, the machine would simply not be worth the attentions of a professional repairer.

Hi, Winbert! Being a musician and audio technician for six years I know very well what pitch adjustment is ![[Wink]](wink.gif)
The problem is however the fps in general. I played the Star Wars reel with my computer playing the DVD next to it, and the difference was noticeable.
I will do some more testing tonight, I'll bring my projector home from my fiancee's place (where I have it now) and back home where I have a wider selection of tools and materials, and I will begin a full rinse and clean, and I will lubricate the machine, sand the drive discs and wheel, and reset the speed adjustment, which should make the projector "as good as new".
Hopefully it will fix my problem.

Yeah, I've thought of that aswell.
A new thing occured to me last night after reading the thread you linked over and over.
My screening rdom is cold, really cold. The window is leaking, and there's a vent that can't be closed, making it quite chilly in there during winter time (at this very moment it is below zero).
Anyway, this can cause the grease to harden/stiffen, making the machine slower, at least that's what my father told me. Unless you use grease that is designed for low temperatures, the grease will turn rather "gluey" if too cold.
So I'm currently "heating up" the projector by setting it to "Forward" without using the lamp, and having a heating fan blowing straight to the machinery. Hopefully this will heat up the grease and machinery enough to help at least abit.
Will get back to you with results.
