Default Ampro Stylist

Hello, I have recently got a ampro stylist projector
and i was wondering why its smoking from the lamphouse?
I live in england and i have a transformer with it that you can input 240v and it says 200v-250v on motor,lamp,amp output
wheres on the projector it says 115v input and im using both 115 and 240v bulbs and its still smoking?

If it has not been used for some time then it may just be dust burning off but I would expect this clear within about half a minute. There may be a blower fan for the lamp, possibly using the same motor that drives the film transport. Try to determine what part is generating the smoke.

It seams to be smoking even with the bulb out and it comes out of the top of the lamphouse
