My bell & howell QX80 projector is not working properly. It appears the takeup reel is not functioning to continue drawing the film through the projector. It appears that maybe the belt driving the takeup reel is worn and too loose. The auto feed mechanism is working. As the film lead gets to the takeup reel, it usually catches automatically and begins wrapping the film. The takeup reel will then quit turning and the film being fed through the projector will begin collecting near the takeup reel. For a short period I can manually turn the takeup reel to continue collecting the film, but this doesn't work for long
