Geez, hopefully I am in the right place. I have a Ricoh Triscope Projector. Worked perfect after being unused for 30 years and suddenly the lamp quit working. I bought a new bulb and replaced the fuse but still no light. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi Patricia
I suggest you clean the central lamp contact in the base.
The copper contact in the centre often gets a coating of oxides and won't allow power to get to the lamp. Try scratching the contact till its shiny and clean. Then try the lamp again.

good luck
