already mentioned, that's no problem—the teeth of the metal
shutter gear never seem to break.
If the problem is that the projector goes immediately into the
fast-rewind mode, you need go no further in the disassembly.
Locate the latch in Fig. MD7 that controls the rapid-rewind
switch. The latch probably just needs cleaning—it get sticky
from dirt and old lubrications. The rapid-rewind switch then
stays closed. Use your cleaner and cleaning brush to
degrease and scrub the lever.
You can also take care of the other malfunction that causes
the film transport to fail. Remember, the in-and-out cam may
come loose from the cam shaft. At the back of the projector,
Fig. MD6, you can see the in-and-out cam and the end of the
cam shaft; the cam shaft passes through a gear that's held by
an E-clip.
