[Frameworks] Projector lube

[Phaeton Graph]

You could try some fine oil - like that used for sewing machines - just a drop here and there - or even half a drop - not spray. But what you really need is grease. I would recommend sending the projector away to a specialist, since the old grease needs to be removed and the cogs relubed with fresh grease, if this is what's causing the problem? I couldn't say which grease to use, it is a moot point. A lot of the brands which were available when these fine machines were in their heyday are no longer manufactured. 

Whatever you do, don't get grease or oil on or near the belt drive, which will then just skid. If you do, remove the belt and apply 'chalk white' powder to the belt drive wheel rim and belt itself, then take off the excess chalk. That will de-oil the belt.

These guys are pretty hot on lubing projectors:  http://8mmforum.film-tech.com/

Does anyone have a suggestion for simple spray lubrication (wd-40?) of Pageant/ Kodak analyst projectors that are running slow?


Thanks, David
