Hi: I would appreciate it if anyone could give me a source for the B & H 483Z Autoload Projector Manual?

(pdf format copy would be OK)

Thx

John

Thx for the suggestion.

I paid only US60 for Projector - so this option for Manual (US40 including postage) is quite pricey!

Was hoping there might be an on-line source at lower cost?

Thx anyway - much appreciated.

That is the only place I have ever seen a manual for that model of projector. In general, there are a great many projector manuals that have never been scanned and are only available as hard copies.

Thanks Ken. That makes things clearer. I did find one for Model 459 - quite similar - here: http://www.film-tech.com/warehouse/manuals/BH459.pdf
My 483 received yesterday (eBay) seems little used and runs film OK - but very noisy - emanating from area of fan(s) - could be bearings/ belts, or gear train ie long-time-no-lube? Most hardware seems to be secured to front plate so I removed six holding screws to allow front plate to separate from housing - but something (apart from film cutter) is still holding housing . . . Would like to clean up gears, check belts and re-lube. Have seen SuperLube suggested as OK to avoid damage to (nylon?) gears.

Would appreciate any tips - including best lube for projector moving parts?


Thanks again.

John
