I just got a "free" (I had to pay $90 shipping) Bell & Howell 466A projector. It is clean and everything works great ...
... except,
the pulldown claw doesn't engage all the way. I can see how to adjust the side-to-side position of the claw, but not how to change how far it goes into the sprockets.
From the following picture you may be able to see the pad which is attached to the cam arm and rides on the spring-ring cam (I labeled it "Warp Plate"), forcing it in and out of the gate as the main shaft rotates. It looks to me as though that pad has eroded and that is why the claw doesn't go in far enough.
Does anyone have any idea of how to get the claw to move further to the left in this picture? The pad is rivited on, and getting the claw shaft out looks like a major undertaking. About the only idea I have is to somehow bond a thin piece of material onto the felt pad.
Thanks!!
