I have a question regarding the Eiki Super Slim Slot Load 16mm Projector.Does this brand have worm gear issues like many of the Bell & Howell models did? Thanks!

Eiki don't have worm gears,The BH 3500 series don't have worm gears as well. only models 2500 and under have the worms. BH are great machines well built but they messed up on building the worm gear as far a lasting long.

Not so. The Eiki/Elf projectors have a metal worm which drives a fibre gear.
There is no likelihood of any trouble with this arrangement.

I have never read or heard of any issue with the Eiki gear.
