The focus knob did not work, and after disassembly it became clear what the problem was.
The rubber that were supposed to turn the lens forwards and backwards was dried up and had crumbled to pieces.
A piece of rubber hose sandpapered to correct size did the trick.
This is an EIKI RT-0 16mm film projector.
It has sat for a very long time and needs an overhaul.
Most of the moving parts are almost stuck, and needs to be cleaned and lubricated.
All of the rubber bands needs to be replaced, since they all have deteriorated.

This is a “Chelico” splicer, used for splicing 8mm/16mm film.
I inherited this from my father, that used to do a lot of 8mm filming.
In the box were also a bottle of Kodak Film Cement.
I will try this on a piece of scrap film.
The alternative of using cement is using “Presstape”.
I will also give that a test later.
Update :
I have now drained the radiator, and removed the cooling fans.
I have also removed the hoses from the water pump, so it is now ready for removal.
(One hose left in the picture… 🙂 )
As you can see in the pictures, the water pump has leaked from the drain hole.
Hopefully the Optispark is not damaged by this.. 🙂
