Anyone know of an outfit that repairs these projectors. I've been given one thats arms don't turn to pull the cine through. The few cines that came with it might show some historical shots, so I'd like it working.

It's a 1692 model, and the light and motor do work. Maybe the innards just need lubricating and its not beyond help.

This is where the Cine FILM enthusiasts hang out, and it's a wealth of information on ALL aspects of REAL Cinema, be it the film itself or keeping the hardware in good working order. Advice is freely given and all are welcome.

And this one works along the same lines and is just as welcoming...

Both have a world-wide membership and both welcome the Digital Film enthusiast also.

Billy, I don't know if he handles Bell & Howell equipment but you could try Bill Parsons, 3 Salthouse Close, Brookland, Kent. e mail: bill@bparsons97.plus.com
or telephone 01797 344764 between 7pm and 9pm. If he doesn't repair them he might know someone who does. (Bill specialises in repairs to Elmo projectors)

Cheers for those tips men.
Will I see you next week at Durham Brian?

I should add to my last post that the advice and help available on both the sites I listed includes DIY repair advice from both experienced enthusiasts and professional repairers.

Whilst on the subject of projectors (film that is) does anyone know where I can get Gate assemblies for Buaer Super 8 film projectors. Roy
