@elb@social.sdf.org @bytex64@awesome.garden Yeah, I’ll take a good look at it in the coming days. I’ve been busy with other things… and also waiting for it to stop stinking quite so much. 😂

@elb@social.sdf.org @bytex64@awesome.garden I found the service manual for the 3000S, which is (supposedly) nearly identical: https://phsc.ca/repair/GAF/gaf_projector_2000-3000-sears.pdf I've at least determined that the lamp still works... so whatever is wrong isn't causing complete electrical failure. The motor does not run. However, if I manually move the pully attached to the motor, all the gears seem to move freely. I can switch between forward and rewind movement, etc. I don't see anything that is obviously burned out on the primary circuit board or any of the electronics but, as I mentioned, I'm not skilled in this arena. I'm wondering if the transformer itself has gone bad. EDIT: Or the motor, of course. Would be hard to tell if that was burned out from the outside, I imagine. Either way... finding a replacement motor or transformer for this thing feels like it'd require finding another one that works anyway... haha
