Has someone a pile of old Eumigs with spares to sell? I just got a model, believe it is a 610, will check it tomorrow. It appears to have no gears at all where the film is loading ... It runs otherwise fine it seems.
Also got an P8 I think it was, lights up, but motor doesn't seem to run ... Anything one can try or look at? Seems it has chains instead of belts ... Is there a fuse just for the motor?
Will find more details on the models tomorrow, not accessible at the moment

I had a P8 that the plastic nearing holder dried out and fell apart on. The motor couldn't turn. I had to take the motor completely out to fix it. What I did was position the brass bearing exactly where they should be and then put epoxy around them to replace the dried out plastic. You have to be careful not to get any epoxy inside the bearing at all. To prevent this I put masking tape over the bearing hole and trimmed it perfectly to the edge. This may not be your problem but just some info in case it is.
Also, check with forum member Jon Addams for Eumig projectors. He may be able to help you and he is terrific to do business with.
