Keystone Regal k109 suddenly stops

January 15, 2021, 10:11 AM

Hello, I am going through family movies and suddenly the machine slowed a bit and quickly stopped. I do not have a manual, but did just oil in red dot spots. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Was there any smell of electrical burning? Can the mech be turned by hand at all?

No smell. Tough to turn so I stopped. I just oiled it this morning. I did not know if it would take some time(days) to settle in.

Had the projector been sat around or stored for a long time before this happened?

It had sat for years. When I started using it, it ran like a dream. It was running well for a few days until it slightly slowed and then stopped.

Make sure you are unplugged before any investigation!
