Anybody have any info on this? I was told its a model A-74 but I've seen different projectors saying the same. Also, am I doing something wrong, or is it necessary to switch belts for playing and rewinding. With both belts on, the supply reel spins the wrong way, and if I twist the belt into a figure 8 to reverse the direction, its spins too fast and the film just unspools.

Thanks for any info.

Jim,

Your projector looks more like the Keystone E 829. I believe the belt should be engaged on the feed reel only when rewinding.

Thanks for the info. Found one via google and with a few slight differences it looks to be the model. Took some Mothers polish to the parts that contact the film to polish them up and smooth them out and it works like a charm. There's a bit of wire I need to replace because the insulation is brittle and cracked.
