Great video, thank you! I'm in the US but my model number is 1442 not the alpha numeric designation. One error I made is over tightening the nylon nut for the clutch plate. This caused the front reel to engage (in reverse) when moved to the Forward position [ as well as reverse or fast reverse as expected]. Auto feed and take up functions remain finicky and given the age of my films I'm going to have them transferred to digital before tinkering any further.

This is such a nice projector. I'm guessing that this Bell 🛎 & Howell model is from circa 1970. TWO sets of fans, to the nice gearing ⚙, and wiring, it is a beauty, on the inside, and out. Seems 👀 like 👍 almost nobody comments on these KZbin channels. Most recent one was 4 years ago. I really like all these projectors, regardless of the brand name, or 8mm, or 16mm. Some were sound, others were not 👎. I've come up ☝ by a few of these projectors, at yard sales, in my younger years, and bought them. I paid about $25.00 to $30.00 for each. One was a GAF carousel 🎠 slide projector, and one was an upright ☝ filmstrip 🎥 projector. I do not 👎 remember the brand name, and I cannot remember if it had a cassette player on it or not 👎. Another projector was an 8mm. No 👎 sound. Too many 👨 years to remember the brand name, but I think it was a Bell 🛎& Howell. It was constructed of cast aluminum. Sadly 😥, I wound up ☝ throwing the machine away when the fan belt broke. I had no 👎 knowledge on how to fix it, although these machines were quite plentiful then. It was 1984. This was still the age, that we could still buy the bulbs. Belts and parts were still probably available from the manufacturer 👨. These were such beautiful machines. They were next to TV 📺. Show those family 👪 8mm films 🎥. Nothing 👎 could be so timeless. I have a feeling that these projectors were built in Japan 🇯🇵, or the USA 🇺🇸. Your friend, Jeff.

THANK YOU for a SUPER tutorial repairing the Drive Rotor Cap Rubbers for such B&H projectors. Too bad I cannot find them anywhere on the iNet... These are a miserable bunch of projectors, in that they age poorly, and become useless. Too bad.

Have you been able to replace the drive belt (or have instructions on it?!) thank you!

[@debbraedens4277]

Where can I get the little washers?

[@dianaalders4882]

GREAT video! I'm having trouble finding the correct tool to remove the inner screws. Can you share the type and size of what you used? Thanks

[@OlafKilthau]

HI, Do you have any information on how to replace the belt that goes from the motor pulley to drive shaft? I have the belt but I need direction on disassembly. Thanks

[@OlafKilthau]

HI, I'm need of the same parts that you replaced on your projector and I was wondering where to source the parts or if you know where I can get the STL file so that I can get them 3D printed?

[@greedee7264]

im having trouble removing the clutch mechanism, any tips?

[@robnyland8969]

Great video! I have an MX33 with a slightly different problem I think. When i engage FWD the projector runs at normal speed at first and gradually slows down to a complete stop. Sometimes when engaging FWD it wont move until i give it a little push start, and then eventually slows to a stop again. Any ideas?

[@daveharrison145]

Excellent tutorial, very much appreciated, and my first question just answered, re buying 3d nubs. Can I ask you a question please on another issue wuth the same device? I can forward photo which should explain....

[@gheppell9790]

Good morning Sooty. Do you happen to know where I can find a replacement bulb and do you know how to replace it? Also, I have heard that the bulb can upgraded to halogen. Do you have any insight? Thank you, in advance, for your help.

[@vickiszem]

Ohh, not to mention, that square drive belt is impossible to replace... I'll try a round one, before pushing the whole beast into the trash....

[@stevenhoelderich9490]

What happened, to your hand?
