Hello 9.5mm enthusiasts 😊
I have just purchased a Pathescope 200B on eBay the purpose of which will be to transfer about a dozen 400' reels of 9.5mm film shot by my late father-in-law, some of which I believe to be pre-war, to digital. The purchased projector has no belts so I looked on ebay but the cost of aquiring all 3 belts will be more than I paid for the projector!! Is there another source - bearing in mind that once set up the films will be run only once to do the transfer to digital and the projector will then become redundant (I live in Cyprus and there is zero market for second-hand equipment like this here), so I don't want to spend a lot of dosh on a set of belts!! Does anyone have a 'spare' set they would be willing to part with for a nominal sum, or even loan them for a few months?
Also, although I appreciate the projector is probably very simple, does anyone have a copy of the original instructions? I will be replacing the original bulb with a LED light source and I have read that the motor may be 110v, so that may have to be attended to as I wil need to run it at about 2fps on 230v for the digital transfer. Any information at this stage would be welcome as I have to wait 6-8 weeks for the projector to arrive here anyway.
Thanks
