Hi all. Any chance I could get a copy of that manual as well?
Also, I've seen reference to perhaps converting old projectors to a halogen bulb. Has anyone ever successfully converted the 109D to a halogen bulb? If so, is it worth the effort?
Thought I'd share an update. I bought a 109D from Goodwill for $7 + shipping advertised with a working bulb and no other information. I plugged it in and the motor was nearly seized up...would barely turn at the highest speed setting and wouldn't turn at the lowest setting. I pulled the thing apart, cleaned up the rotor and stator with alcohol, and put it back together. It ran brilliantly...except...backwards. I puzzled on it for a bit and then pulled the rotor back out. Flipped the stator 180 degrees, put it back together. It works beautifully and I had such a rewarding time bringing it back to life.
