Hello Everyone,
This is the first time I am posting in awhile, as I have been away from 8MM and 16MM collecting for awhile. Unfortunately, I've found that a lot of the projectors I've had in storage are no longer working either partially or at all. I have mostly Eiki and Elmo model's. On one Eiki SL-0L I found that the machine was not running in forward or reverse correctly. The projector would power on, but the gears would not turn. I took the back off to check the belt and found a spring on the lower right unattached. Upon closing the back, the projector will not power on in forward gear at all! I also found a thick strand of something which broke off in my fingers, purplish in color. I found this in another one of my Eiki projectors as well. It's about the circumference of the top of a screw.
On another projector , and ENT-O 3592 - the projector has a tag indicating it is set for 240 Volts - 50 HZ - what would I need to do to use this in the US? I am really at a loss when attempting to maintain or repair these and could also use the assistance of a good repair person.
I had purchased about 7 of these over a decade ago since I believed at the time that I wouldn't be able to find them in time. Some need minor maintenance, like replacement of melted rubber rollers on the Elmo's with the new Nylon rollers. I've found a great source for those. Also on the ELMO that needs the rollers, the plastic function lever to put the projector into Forward and Reverse cracked off. So I need a replacement for that.
In addition to that, I have an APOLLO QL100 ~ Hokushin sc-210 I believe, on which the take up reel stops turning half way through.
So as you can see, I have a lot to take care of.
if anyone should have any suggestions on repair or a replacement lever for the ELMO please feel free to let me know. Also if anyone knows a good repair person I would appreciate it.
I'll probably be posting and / or following this forum regularly from now on, so look forward to getting to know all of you!
