Hi, Hope you're all well.
I have a Bell and Howell TQI 16mm projector and when I flip the switch to forward or backwards, all I can hear is a buzzing sound, and the handle to the motor (which you can hand-spin to advance the film) starts to get warm, and eventually hot. After flipping the switch from off to forward about 30 times, it seems some sort of cog (or the motor) falls into place and the projector will start running correctly. But when I flip to off and want to go backwards, the same problem occurs and it takes me ages to finally get it to go in reverse.
I have tried to "Kick start" the projector by using the advancing knob and turning the projector on but no luck, I feel it's something to do with a cog having great trouble connecting with another, and this causes the motor simply not able to physically spin.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!
Kindest regards,
Clark
