In 1980, my father bought a dual-8mm Elmo K-100SM film projector. Unfortunately the projector belts are gone. I note that you sell replacements, which is great, but, while we have the instruction manual, I am trying to locate the projector's repair manual as the instruction manual does not include information on how to replace the projector belts.

Has anybody the repair manual? Or can you help/describe or add a copy of the respectve pages if you have them?

Kind regards
Steven Dotsch

Hi Steven,

This projector needs two belts, a long one used to rotate the spindles and a short one which rotates the shutter.

The Elmo K-100SM has a diagram printed in the inside back cover showing the belting how to install the long belt (at least that has been the case of the few I've owned thru the years), the short belt is simple to install, it goes from the motor fan to the grooved wheel on the shutter shaft.

I've been searching for a service manual for several years without luck.

I hope this helps,

Jon

Hello, Steven:

I seem to have the same problem as you with my K-100SM. But mine still has the belt routing picture on it. An image is included (I hope).

I need new belts too. Where are you getting them from?

Regards,

Alan Billing
