Bell and howell 8D 655 16mm film projector

Bell & Howell 16mm projector model 8D 655. I have modified this projector to use a 250 watt halogen bulb commonly found in overhead- and slide projectors instead of the original 1000 watt tungsten lamp which is just about impossible to obtain. As you can hear, the EL84 push-pull amplifier is working great. This projector is supposed to be automatic threading, but if you push down the lever for the auto threading system the whole system jams, so it has to be threaded manually.

Does this one go in reverse ok? Mine would play fine forward but if you tried to play the film backwards it would derail from one of the sprockets.

It runs fine in both directions.

Wonderful video. I liked it. I am really interested in projectors.
