Wow... an exhaustive (4+ hrs.) internet search today yielded no easy results in my search for a users manual for my newly purchased Keystone 109D ($30 bundle with Atlas Walker 8mm 500 Editor, reels and Sylvania "Sun Gun" halogen cam light... Craigslist can be great at times).
The ONE fruitful result from my incessant "Googling" has been this forum (many thanks to the Admins for getting me in promptly) - and you guys may have the recipe to my eventual success w/ 8mm screening. Fingers crossed...
Anyone on this thread (or forum, for that matter) with a .pdf or .doc scanned copy of this manual? I'd be happy to mail you a check or money order for your time and effort... $5-$10 is money well spent in order to open and repair my new Keystone that is running VERY hot and probably needs some attention. She's practically mint but running too slow on the reels (no film to thread yet) and the lamp housing is smoking and giving off an "I've been in a basement without use for 40 years and need a tune up before you're serious about running me again" smell - plastic, metal and mildew odors in some thin wisps of smoke.
I already love this thing and I'll eventually open it up on my own, but you guys seem pretty savvy and I wanted to reach out here first for maintenance tips/manual access. I've already got a feature "film" under my belt (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1721503/) as cinematographer, but that was digital with a Letus 35mm lens adapter, so these recent hobbyist purchases will be my first foray into true FILMmaking.
Thanks in advance for any time you're willing to give this query. -PWG
