Leon, the motor hums very quietly no difference in sound variation, keep in mind this was rebuilt earlier this year.

Phil, not seeing what you described as a half moon blade here is behind the transformer if you see it please open it up in paint circle it and repost it or email me. Someone else told me to check the gears bbehind there too all look good.

You are right Jim , there's no (abvious) sensor observed in this area.

-Could you report how many wires are coming to Main Motor (and wires colors too) ?

-Concerning the small rocker arm (Which is swingging in Video Nr3), is this rocker arm linked to an electrical device ?

Phil the "swinging arm" is not linked to anything electrical its just attached to a small spring that gives it flexibility.

Jim, according to Van Eck description, this machine is showing an "electronically governed DC magnetic motor".

We know now that there is no sensor on the claw shaft.
Logically, you could find something fitted at the end of the motor :

- an Infra red sensor (with a coding wheel)
or
- a Tacho generator
(In any cases , logically you could also find 4 wires coming to the motor.)

Did you replace motor belt ?

If yes, did you install a genuine belt ?
If yes, is it a reinforced micro "V" belt (like elmo GS1200) ?

Here is Van Eck explanations concerning "GS1200" typical Belt grade :

"New belt, replacing your broken or stretched belt:
The motor belt is a quality belt for Elmo GS-1200 (all versions). Brand product of current production. Given specifically for Elmo GS-1200 projectors from us in order, highest durability. Belt of rugged polyurethane with embedded special fiberglass-tension cords. We recommend the use of this particular form of V-belts, because here only the geometry to 100% corresponds to what Elmo has provided for these devices."

In summary, this means that installing this belt grade will improve speed steadiness too.

Ah, Ok Jim, I understand a tipical "V" belt was installed on this machine.If you kept it, l suggest you to re install it if it is serviceable yet (normaly this kind of belt is extra long life) and make new tests.

Let us know

Try replacing the v belt! Like the GS1200 belt! That belt does not stretch! Do that and test it!

hello Leon,

Do you know what are Elmo machines fitted with plyurthane "V" belt at the origin ?
These belts insure a very good transmission for a long !

May be the Gs 1200 ref can fit with other ones ....

i recently watch a video, and forget where i saw it now.... and the fella restored his belts by boiling them in water in the microwave. It was a belt for a cassette deck that was stretched, it gave me the idea that one might be able to do the same for super 8 belts that are not gone to black goop but are simply stretched.
...don't try this yet jim until we learn more, but i thought i'd throw the idea out there in case anyone knows what i mean...

btw- i think this is a belt problem as well. i have seen this if i don't use the square belt on one of my elmos...

Thanks Jim for your pictures.

At a first sight , I only see 2 wires (RED/Black) comming from motor.
May be there are others hidden, I don't know.

I suggest you to perform cleaning of speed potentiometer and toggle switch (16 / 25), connectors as necessary, installed on a small circuit behind upper belt.

Try to use a very powerfull contact cleaner (Cleaner & Lube fluid, spray gun).

You can soak and actuate them in a same time.
As the small circuit is removed, take the opportunity to make a closed inspection of its solderings and tracks (magnifier x10).

It should be interesting to get a schematic & WD for this machine.

Let us know

Jim, take off the motor generator and clean it! It will act up if dirty or going bad! The motor generator is on the motor! It has two wires soldered to it! Clean with contact cleaner!

Just an observation guys....Why is this thread in the General Yak Forum? It is definitely related to 8mm projector repair so I suggest it should belong in the 8mm Forum.
