Hi Maxhifi ,
I have restored two film projectors , one each of 8mm and 16mm and the best advice I can give you is do not take anything apart that involves the timing of the film advancement through the lens area where the shutter is . As you likely already know , the film is moved into proper position , stops for a bit while the shutter opens to illuminate that frame , the shutter then closes and the film is advanced to the next frame where the shutter again does it's thing , over and over showing each frame as the film advances through the projector . If there is any mistiming of when the shutter opens & closes in relation to when the frame to be shown is in position , the result will be a dull smeared image rather than a sharp clean image .
If you do a search of my started threads , you should come up with the thread where I got the projectors and some p0rn with them , that I traded to a nice gent here for some racecar footage that I could show in "mixed company"
Best of luck with your new hobby
