I have a 9,5 Ercsam projector I put aside for years as it had a problem with the lower loop that shriked all the time. I decided to try to fix it with the help of Internet. I just cleaned it (from dust) and put three drops of oil (at the red points) and testes it. It seems that the loop is stronger than what I remember (it just lost once but coud be the film). But there is a stability problem. The picture is not completely steady. As it is a simple mecanism, it may be someting easy to fix. Does anyone has an idea ?

I am not sure it is worth investing too much time in the Ercsam's since I have never had much luck with them giving a steady image. I think there might be some issues with the overall design of the gate..
