OK, following on from my other thread I thought I would create a dedicated thread searching of projector maintenance services.
Although I appear to be able to quite easily source belts and parts for my Eiki I'm well aware that I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing.
It's one thing to chuck film through it when I was a kid, quite another to take a valuable piece of film anywhere a complex device that hasn't been used for 15 years or serviced for >20 years.
I dread to think what would happen if another belt snapped while it was running.
Are there any professional services remaining or is that a forlorn hope? There seems to be small businesses doing 8mm repair but not 16mm.
It would be nice to get a professional and experienced eye giving it the once over before muggins here is allowed anywhere near it!
So I'm after some recommendations.
I lieu of a paid for service, recommendations for online information and guides, or a book (16mm for dummies?)
Many Thanks,
Jim.
Edit: Forgot the model numbers:
Eiki ST/M 1
Bell & Howell 652
Service Manuals:
Service Manual for Eiki ST/M 1

Just too bad that the projector is so far away to service and the shipping cost well it might not be worth it
Yep, it's probably cheaper to ship you over here.
Well, I found two places, in Luton and Nottingham.
I shall endeavour to contact them and get a quote.

Why not try getting in touch with your film dealers like Classic,
Buckingham, Perry's, Paul Foster etc,these folks usually have someone who repairs all this equipment.
Can you post links please?
