Hi All, I've just been given a Ricoh Trioscope (Same as mentioned above) and it has the horrible mess of a drive wheel. Not too bad to fix. I took the wheel off, sliced the remaining rubber off and then made a marine ply rim with a groove in to take a fat 'O' ring.
I used two hole saws to make the rim. A 51mm to make the outside then a 38mm to take the middle out. With a bit of a sand back the wheel was able to be pressed into the ply wood with out splitting it (3 attempts). I then put a bolt through the wheel so I could lock it in the chuck of my drill, then sanded the edge smooth before using a round wood file to put a grove in it to take the 'O' ring.
The mechanical bits all seem to work now.. just need a lamp... Blimey, they're exensive [Smile]

Not sure why I'm bothering as I have no films.. guess I just like messing with stuff [Big Grin]

Dear Janice
I also have a Richo like the one as shown in the picture. I guess that you have a manual for this projector. I will be obliged if you could send me a copy at tnmaj@yahoo.com
Thank you.

Hi there!
I have pulled out my Ricoh auto 8p trioscope from it's original box where it has been sitting for the past 10-15years or so.And miracle of miracles it still works [Smile]

, although it got a bit HOT. so I turned it off and took off the cover over the lamp. My drive wheel was not black, but a golden yellow/brown color( presume this means it's good and I'm lucky.
Does anyone have any ideas on what I need to do to service the projector. I bought a high pressure air duster and intend to blow out any rubbish. Also is it alright to put a drop of multipurpose lubricating oil on some parts. (of course not on the sprockets or near any of the film path ways. [Confused]

Also sending a message to Janice glesser for a manual copy, if she still has one.
kind regards to all.
