Default Re: Ampro Stylist projector

New Educational here. Belonged to a late friend of mine, also called Paul, and I like to use it occasionally as a kind of memorial.

As PaulM says they actually work pretty well. Biggest problem with mine has been sourcing a drive belt, not helped by Ampro using two different sizes. Modern one's aren't made of rubber and do not have much give. The 'correct' size was just too tight, so ended up using the larger size and dropping the motor.

Selenium rectifiers were weak and bypassed with silicon diode and resistor chosen to restore HT voltage to correct level.

Regards,

Yet another Paul!
