Something strange is happening with my eiki rt1,suddenly the take up reel start to make too much torque and the projector lost the lower loop all the time.I lubricate the cork as the service manual sugested but still happen the same...the second sprocket shoe of the machine has broken due to this matter..any advice will be welcome.
Thanks a lot in advance

Jose
Did you lubricate with oil?
If so, remove the oil, and lubricate with a light coating of silicone grease.
