You could try some fine oil - like that used for sewing machines - just a drop
here and there - or even half a drop - not spray. But what you really need is
grease. I would recommend sending the projector away to a specialist, since the
old grease needs to be removed and the cogs relubed with fresh grease, if this
is what's causing the problem? I couldn't say which grease to use, it is a moot
point. A lot of the brands which were available when these fine machines were
in their heyday are no longer manufactured.
Whatever you do, don't get grease or oil on or near the belt drive, which will
then just skid. If you do, remove the belt and apply 'chalk white' powder to
the belt drive wheel rim and belt itself, then take off the excess chalk. That
will de-oil the belt.
These guys are pretty hot on lubing projectors: http://8mmforum.film-tech.com/

Does anyone have a suggestion for simple spray lubrication (wd-40?) of Pageant/
Kodak analyst projectors that are running slow?
Thanks, David
