Hi; I have the above projector. The motor seems to be running but when I engage the "clutch" to move the film nothing turns? The lamp works, the fans are running. It just seems to not to want to engage.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Sounds like it needs new belts. I think this has one big rubber belt inside. It may have snapped or gone soft/lax. If it is a production variation then it may have a metal spring belt that may have disconnected at the ends. But I'm pretty sure I recall it having a rubber belt and plastic pulleys inside. Pop off the back cover and see.
