FIG. MD1 The Moviedeck 447. All the
projectors in the Moviedeck series are
very similar to one another.
A
nother popular series of Kodak projectors—the
Moviedeck series—still has widespread use. Even after
years of service, there are very few problems with the
Moviedeck projectors.
As with the M-series projectors, the
shutter gear breaks and/or deterio-
rates. The symptom is then the same
as with the M-series—the projector
won't transport film. Fargo Enter-
prises, Inc. also rebuilds the
Moviedeck shutters.
Another shutter used in some
Moviedeck projectors has a metal
gear rather than a plastic gear. You
can't get the shutter with the metal
gear. But that's no problem—the
shutter with the metal gear never
seems to need replacement.
In all, there are probably only three
malfunctions you'll encounter in the
Moviedeck projectors. And there
are only two symptoms of the three
malfunctions:
1. The
projector immediately goes
into the rapid-rewind mode . The cause of the problem— a
sticky latch for the rapid-rewind switch
. The symptom
just calls for a simple cleaning of the latch.
2. The reels won't turn to run the film through the
projector.
We've already mentioned one possible cause—
a
broken shutter gear . The other possibility— the in-and-out
cam has come loose from the cam shaft.
Either of these
problems can be repaired with minimum disassembly. And
only one of the problems—the broken shutter gear—requires
a part.
Rather than covering the Moviedeck series in detail, we'll
concentrate on the three normal repairs. Your background in
repairing the M-series of projectors should prepare you for
the Moviedeck series.
DISASSEMBLY STEPS
1. Pull off the two side covers, Fig. MD1.
Caution:
the legs
on the side covers that clip to the projector can break.
2. Remove the supply spindle, Fig. MD1. Just use your probe
to move the spring, Fig. MD1, from right to left—then lift
the supply spindle straight up.
3. From the bottom of the projector, remove the four top-
cover screws, Fig. MD2. Use a thin-wall 1/4" nut driver.
Note that the two long screws go closer to the back of the
projector.
4. Turn over the projector and lift off the top cover.
You can now see the shutter gear through the access cutout,
Fig. MD3. Fig. MD4 shows a single-blade shutter, the type
of shutter that has the plastic gear. In this example, the gear
is broken—the teeth have been sheared off. Your inspection
has shown that it's necessary to order a rebuilt shutter. But
first remove the old shutter; you can then send in the old
shutter and receive the exchange price.
Fig. MD5 shows the metal gear of the 3-blade shutter. You
can't get the 3-blade shutter as a replacement part. But, as
