Here is a close up of the little universal joint - there is a protective sleeve (removed) which screws on to protect I assume to stop fingers getting caught up in it.  |

Last weekend's job was to 3D print a couple of connector pieces so that I could attach a little stepper motor onto the projector. The motor is small and light enough to use the existing 'finger guard' sleeve as a support. The photo shows the motor, the two 3D printed connector pieces in the middle and the original screw on finger guard on the right.  |

I think it is a reasonably elegant solution to the missing motor and does not require any irreversible modification to the projector.  |

The electrical connector has 14 pins and assuming the design did not change much post-war it would have been a 1930s vintage design. I have been unable to find a candidate socket to fit on it so have had to resort to DIY methods.   |

Until I find a suitable 'original' socket I have resorted to my trusty friend Fusion 360. The idea is to use a 7 core wire (not all the pins are used as far as I can make out). The holes will hold copper tube offcuts firmly in place against the slightly springy connectors on the socket.  |

already there!!
