Hi John,
I'm not sure why you would get a white image. Usually that sort of setup is pretty straight forward. The projector is projecting an image on the paper, but the camera sees nothing? Can it see the paper if you're not projecting anything?
The other thing I will humbly suggest is that ultimately you will end up re-doing this down the road. That Sony is an older camera and the quality of the recording will not match the quality of the 8mm film.
You may want to consider a service or a more modern HD camera at least. Whatever you do, hold on to the film as that may outlast whatever you transfer it to. If a newer camera is not in the budget, your current camera will do the job, but like I said, save the film, you might want to do a higher quality transfer later.
Its possible to find replacement belts on eBay for projectors and maybe your Goko too. If you can measure the existing belts you can sometimes find the right sized O-ring in a hardware store. Amazon actually has a pretty good selection of O-ring sizes. You might have to get a pack of 10 but generally they're not expensive.
