Hello guys, you may have read my attempts at getting a mains lead for both my std and super 8 bolex machines. Well I did get one and have found that the super 8 is running slowly when on the 18 fps mark (looks more like 9fps) apart from belt slippage is there any thing else I should look for.

Its ok guys, It was the belts slipping so put slightly smaller belts on, working a treat now.

I understand now your first message. I misunderstood it by thinking you had a dual-gauge projector and the trouble you encountered was only in Super 8. I realize now that you were talking about two different machines.
