Can I repair my film projector or slide projector myself? It depends very much on your own dexterity. If a projector has been idle for a long time, a repair often begins with:

• removing old fat
• apply new lubrication
• replacing strings
• lamp replacement

If you are somewhat handy, the above problems can often be solved yourself, with the right tools and parts. This solves the problems in many cases. However, not always. Other common problems:

• the lamp base is defective
• gears are cracked and need to be replaced
• electronic components are defective. You can think of capacitors, diodes, resistors, ICs.
• the gripper adjustment is no longer correct
• the framework setting must be adjusted
• the cam / cam follower needs to be replaced.

For these problems it is often necessary to call in a professional. For parts to order, see our parts finder .
