REPAIRING THE

any repairs on the M-series of Kodak Instamatic movie
projectors are now practical. True, Kodak no longer
supplies parts—the projectors have been out of production
for too many years. But you can get many parts—including
those most frequently needed—through Fargo Enterprises,
Inc.
Fargo Enterprises, Inc. has arranged for the frequently
needed parts to be specially manufactured or rebuilt. Also,
Fargo Enterprises, Inc. acquired the remaining supply of
parts from Kodak. If you would like a list of the parts
available, contact Fargo Enterprises, Inc. and request a copy
of the Micro-Tools catalog. Or check the parts online at
www.fargo-ent.com/kodak.htm.
For several years, Fargo Enterprises has also been repairing
the M-series projectors. We've gathered our M-series
experience for this manual. Here you'll find the instructions
for making the normal repairs to the Kodak M-series
projectors.
This manual focuses on the M80 projector. But all projectors
in the series are very similar. Where there are significant
differences, we've described the variations during the
disassembly. That way, you can follow these instructions
while you're working on any projector in the M-series.
What are the differences? Here's a list of the main variations
in the series:
M80. The first projector in the series runs both super-8 and
regular-8 film. The special super-8 adapter shown here fits
over the supply spindle,
increasing the diameter for
super-8 reels. The projector has
two lamp brightnesses and three
running speeds—54 fps, 6fps,
and
NORMAL (18fps). The M80 uses the 120V projection
lamp.
M85 . A less-expensive version of the M80, the M85 has
only one lamp brightness and one running speed (18fps). The
M85 also runs both super-8 and regular-8 film. The projector
uses the 120V lamp.
M70

are that the M70 runs only super-8 film and has a single-
blade shutter (the M80 has a double-blade shutter). The M70
uses the 120V lamp with two lamp brightnesses.
M90 . The M90 is the same projector as the M70 with one
exception—the M90 uses the 21V lamp, a variation that
requires a step-down transformer in the projector to drop the
line voltage to 21V.
M95.
Here is the top-of-the line projector in the series. The
M95 has all the M-series features. Like the M90, the M95
uses a 21V lamp that requires the step-down transformer.
Another very similar projector is the
Ektagraphic MFS-8
, a
super-8 projector closely related to the Instamatic M-series
projectors. The MFS-8 has three running speeds, uses the
120V DNE lamp, and adds the convenience of a remote
control. There are a few internal variations among the
different projectors. You'll see these differences during the
disassembly. To see the major electrical differences, turn to
the wiring pictorials on page 37.
