Hello all! I'm new here but long been a beneficiary of the brilliant 9.5mm community in the Uk and built up quite a collection of prints and projectors.
I have a couple of Gem's that I've used for a long time. One, had been earthed and refitted with a led bulb by its previous owner while retaining the original cloth wire and looks amazing. All have the original cloth cables.
I have always been aware of asbestos (especially potentially in lamp housings, or old model steam boiler cladding) but this week for the first time I read that it had been used in cloth wiring sometimes, particularly in heat resistant circumstances. I wondered if anyone knew if this was the case with the Gems?
Fortunately the Princess (my favourite of all the Pathescope devices) was fitted with rubber cabling.
I feel this is something only people really familiar with these machines may know! Any help, thoughts greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
