Very helpful video. When I toggle to 8mm film, after the threading and running, the projection is "jumping". I tried pushing a few times on the lever of the top but it doesn't stop the jumping. I don't have this issue with Super 8 film. Any suggestions on how to fix this?
Hello, loved the video - not too much material even on the internet on troubleshooting this device! I am still having an issue where the belt, engine, etc. Is running smoothly, but the bulb is going out. I was using the bulb and everything was going fine but then my reel started to become tangled. In my hectic pace to save the reel, i was pushing lots of buttons until it released, but in doing so the bulb shutoff. Now whatever I do, It does not turn back on (have tried multiple new bulbs). Do you have any suggestions here? I see a main difference on my projector in that the green slide up top on mine is all the way to the right versus yours is on the left side I havent found a way to release this over (do not have a manual with my machine). Do you think this could solve the issue? Really appreciate any response, and again, thanks for the great original content!
Hi Dan, My guess would be that you may have bumped a wire or one has shorted under the base of the unit. The other possibility is the contacts where the bulb plugs in could be oxidized. Try cleaning those. Also on my machine you have to push down the threading button and once the film loads this lever is designed to release upwards to activate the bulb. Trying looking at that as well.

Do you know how to get acces to the inner guts of the projector
Yes there's one screw on the top area of the back cover. Once that is removed the cover slides off.
Any suggestions on how to maneuver a replacement belt into place? One of the nylon gears is obstructing it - it's got me stumped.
Alan Simons, that nylon gear can be removed with a flathead screwdriver. Once you take it off the belt can be put into position. Hope this helps!
