I've recently acquired an Elmo 16AL in quite a good condition, apart from the infamous rollers and of course the auto-loading.
The projector seems mostly functional: forward and reverse works ok, lamp is nice and bright, which leads me to think that the auto loading issue is not related to the motor.
The AL lever does not engage and stay in it's lowered position. Although it does 'click', which is supposed to begin the auto loading feature, it does nothing. (Example of a working AL system at the bottom of page with Thai(?) text).
I'm not much of an electrician, but I think the issue is something to do with the switch (below/covered by the level as pictured) or with the wires.
I've followed the wires and they seem to be ok, I don't think any parts are missing (I hope)
What else can I do? I've got a multimeter but not sure if it'll help, and if it will, where exactly to measure at what setting.
