I'm really frustrated at how snail slow the rewind speed is on my otherwise excellent projector. Help anyone [Smile]

Make sure you have the rewind tab pushed down.

Hi Elyas,

It sound like the belt is starting to slip when rewinding. It would be a good idea to get manual rewinds and use your projector only for play until you can find a replacement belt or projector for the parts. Manual rewinds allow you to clean the film and lessen the wear and tear on your projector.
