I am looking for a Shutter Gear (possible metal) for my MovieDeck 465 projector. Please let me know where can I find one.
If you can not imagine how it's look like now:

Welcome, Steve!

How about this:

Moviedeck Shutter Gear

My own Moviedeck is kind of retired these days, at least partially because it still has the original gear and I know that it has to fail sooner or later. If you don't mind, I'd be interested in reading about your repair. Maybe it could be posted to our technical index.

You're the second "Steve" to join this week: another 50 weeks like this and we'll become a faction!

I already saw this ad on eBay, but I think this is a little bit too high for me. I read Pat ordered one brass gear from https://www.mcmaster.com/#brass-gears/=19qsl32 and glued to the shaft. I'll do it same way. Now I have find out what is the correct measurement of the Gear. As you see in the pictures, mine is totally failed (literally crumbled). So if you have the same Moviedeck 465, please give me the dimension of the Shutter Gear.
Thanks for advance.

I'll try to contact Pat and ask him. I'm reluctant to dig into my machine.

Pat Dalesio contacted me and said he no longer has the information.

If enough of the teeth are left (maybe at the edge?) that you can count them and you can measure the shaft diameter, you can probably choose the correct gear.

-by the same token, once you deduct the core charge off the completed rebuilt part, it isn't that much more money and a slam dunk as far as being the correct one.

Thanks Steve, I already calculated the same way, so refurbished Shutter will be here in this week. I'll let you know how goes the whole process.

I'm right there with you.

This same company also makes a little plastic widget to replace a part that breaks on pretty much every Kodak slide projector in Creation.

The repair is simple: you drill out the old rivet, you slide on the new part and you install the new rivet: piece of cake!

-yet it's the other sixty billion parts you have to remove and replace in order to do the job that made me find a box and send it off to a repair place!

There just come times when it's better to concede these battles and let the guy that's done it 80 times do it!
