This is what the projector looks like before I started the demolition. The main parts to remove are the transformer, motor and main circuit board. After disconnecting the main wiring these are easy tasks to start with.
The shutter mechanism can be seen on the left. I will need to modify the shutter and removing the 40 year old grease and re-lubricating should make it run a little more smoothly.
I was defeated by the circlip's holding on the gears. Circlip pliers now ordered, this will be a job for next weekend.
And here we have the main drive shaft. The original motor used to drive the rubber disks, this allowed 18fps and 24fps to be selected mechanically.
After stripping down the drive shaft here are the parts. Removing the rubber drive wheel was hard, the two grubs screws were stuck hard. I actually bent the screwdriver tip, ouch. Finally pouring boiling water to heat the parts made the difference!
