Strange that the designer never thought that a rubber belt might break and need replacing. It is a regrettable fact that many projectors need to be partially dismantled to change their drive belt. A picture of the condition is posted here: I put it there so it can be larger, for clarity clicking on 1st image will make it full size. Does anyone know if the major assembly of this bracket has to be disassembled to remove the belt? This qualifies as a 'dumb question' but I don't want to trash a 60 year old projector that's in otherwise excellent condition. There is NO apparent disassembly method, no screws. Control switch on outside of cabinet moves this bracket bracket can also be moved with cabinet which also changes the f-N-R position. 2nd belt has a bracket going THROUGH the center of the belt, a bracket which moves the main large drive pulley off the drive motor (not on the motor) to change from reverse, forward and neutral. Removing old rubber belts (there are only 2) from Revere 777. I might be pushing my welcome with this one. This E-bay seller has always done good by me for belts:Īll I ask is a wide screen and a projector to light her by. Any leads you recommend and trust? THANKS! Other than that, it ran great through several large diameter reels (200', 400' - about 6' diameter). Looking for (I suspect) replacement drive belts, and a manual so I do it right the first time. Set up and ran my dad's late '50's early 60's Revere 777 a few days ago, all was well until both reels stopped turning, but motors were running and light was on (burned film within couple seconds).
