Rubber parts can become brittle and cracked, only to break when the unit is started up. Lubricants actually coagulate and will cause "close tolerance" parts to seize or freeze up rendering them immobile. Interesting things happen to 30+ year old lubricants and rubber parts. Thus at best, a projector is probably at least 25 years old. Most projectors you see available today, were originally sold from the 1950's through the early 1980's. The moving parts always rely on lubricants to function properly and there are commonly a rubber parts / components as well. There are many sub-assemblies and systems within each, and all must be working well together for the unit to function with any accuracy and dependability and not "eat", damage or destroy your precious films and movies. It is VERY difficult to find folks willing to work on "vintage" film projectors, primarily due to parts availability and the lack of techs.įilm projectors are very complicated, electro-mechanical devices.
