    Definitely off topic, but maybe someone here has knowledge of where I can find a "shop" manual on how to clean my Elmo ST1200D Super 8 projector. It's probably 20 years old and for the most part does work. I had it serviced maybe 14 years ago. It takes a bit of fiddling with the counterweight inside (maybe something else), and it comes to life. If I leave it unused for maybe 20 minutes, it needs help. ( have plenty of respect for the 3 amp current, so am careful about working inside with eraser pencil.)

    I'm adding a pic here to see if that's helpful.

    Well, I got lucky with by using service manual rather than shop manual.
    <http://static.cineinformation.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/ELMO-Projector-ST1200-Ser...production.pdf > 40 pages. BTW, I seem to use the projector about every 3 years for short periods of a few days. It's kept in a closet. The room's temp pretty much varies with outdoor temp. Probably from 60 to 80F for winter and summer.

    It's pretty detailed but they seem to use 4 or so lubricants, which may not exist any longer. I would think sewing machine oil might be good. Alcohol is mentioned for some clean up.
