Hi all,
I'm new to 8mm and I just got a Kodak Ektasound 285 Moviedeck for a job, since I didn't have anything that could play sound Super 8. My dad and I are trying to troubleshoot an issue and we're looking for a service/repair manual for the projector (we're both engineers/good with electronics so we do have a grasp on what we're doing). We haven't been able to find one online, we've found them for other decks but not the 285. Does anyone have/know where we could find a manual? We have the regular user manual that came with the deck. We'd greatly appreciate any help in finding the manual.
If anyone's curious about our issue: when I feed film in, it gets bunched up between the lamp and the lens. When I first tried using it yesterday, it worked for a few seconds, I had playback on the attached screen, but then it stopped. I opened the unit we found really sticky old lubricant that might have been an issue. I also found that a drive belt had come off of a wheel and I think that's the problem but we don't know what it connects to.
Thanks in advance!
