Cheapest Filmosound Worm Gear Money Can Buy
So I got a Filmosound recently, & I've noticed the wow & flutter on the audio has been getting pretty bad. I knew it had a cracked worm gear when I bought it, but the seller's picture of it only showed a hairline fracture. When I got it up & running the first time I couldn't tell anything was wrong with the audio, sounded fine then. But as of late, I've noticed it's been getting worse, particuarly on my educational films. I made a direct recording of the sound through the external speaker jack so you can hear it for yourself:

There's clips of 3 films in the recording, "Autum" by Centron Films, "We Discover The Dictionary" by Coronet Films, & "Sleep for Health" by E-B Films. Notice the extreme wow & flutter in the recording, it never was this bad!
If I had to suspect why, I'd say the crack in the worm gear is only getting worse. It also could be because all of these films are slightly warped, but still. I gotta get a fresh worm gear in there, only problem is I don't have 80+ dollars to spend on a replacement. Heck, that's half of what I paid for the projector in the first place! Does anyone here know how I can obtain a fresh worm gear for a Bell & Howell Filmousound 1592 for dirt-cheap? Any & all help is apreceated; Thanks!
