You're missing the round shutter pulley belt. The two grooves in the pulley is to switch film speed or 50/60 Hz. From the state of the main drive belt, I'd replace that as well. You mind as well replace all belts with a whole new set, including the feed and take-up. Where are you located?

It appears your projector needs five belts, but you should check the picture against your machine to verify. The eBay listing does not say anything about the main drive belt, which is the timing belt with teeth, the one you have is discolored and turning yellow-brown. Shutter/motor pulley Feed

How about Cinelab (New Bedford, MA) or Alpha Cine (Seattle). Both do fine B/W processing and printing. As for your uncompressed Quicktime, are you talking Apple ProRes HQ scanned 1920x1080 or 2K (pillarbox)? Alain On Fri, May 18, 2012 at 10:56 AM, Christopher Harris
