I have a Bell & Howell slide cube projector (CP 40) that has a square button
that is supposed to advance the slide turntable. My problem is that the
turntable only turns as long as I have the button depressed. Its been a
long time since I used this projector, but I seem to remember that you only
had to depress and release the button momentarily and the mechanism would
advance to the next slide.
As it is now, I can't view any slides because I can't get the turntable to
stop at the right point unless I lift the cover and manually advance the
turntable to the point where the finger engages the turntable slot.
Is this easy to fix?

Slide cube projectors use a pin-and-slot mechanism to continue the advance
until the next viewing position is reached. When you press the advance switch,
a solenoid pulls a pin out of a slot on the turntable. The pin itself is
connected to a switch that parallels the advance switch, so as long as it is
out of the slot the advance continues. A spring tries to pull the pin back
into the slot, but as soon as the turntable has advanced the slightest amount,
it can't go back into the slot it was in, so if you let go of the advance
switch at that point the turntable will continue advancing until the next slot
is reached, which corresponds to the next viewing position. This linkage also
extends to the shutter, so the projector is blacked out during the slide
advance.
While the pin is in the slot the projector can't advance, and when it's out of
the slot you can't see anything since the shutter is closed. Since you are
able to advance the projector and see a projected image, the basic mechanism
(solenoid, spring, etc.) is obviously working. My guess is that the switch
connected to the pin linkage is broken, or one of the wires that connect the
switch to the advance motor is broken. Fixing your problem may be just a
matter of reconnecting a wire or bending some switch contacts so that they
close properly when the pin moves, or it might be that you will need to replace
the entire switch. My recollection is that the switch consists of some springy
contacts, not a standard switch, so if the switch isn't repairable you
might have to build a replacement.

I have two Bell & Howell RC 55 slide cube projectors. Both the projectors
are in good condition, except for the famous "broken gear" problem.
If anyone out there is interested in taking them off my hands for parts, I
will ship them to you, provided you agree to pre-pay shipping costs.
If interested, let me know.

It would be possible in theory, but I don't know if I'd try it.
I see that KMR Electronics has CBA sockets for carousel projectors:
http://www.kmr.com/manuals/kodak/kodswitch.htm
You might ask them for a description of it to determine if it would work
in a slide cube projector.
CBAs are expensive but they pop up on ebay:
http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?MfcISAPICommand=GetResult&query=cba&category1=625
I've had good luck buying projection bulbs from ebay sellers.

Hello,
My Af70 Bell Howell cube slide projector gear wheel broke. It is a small
plastic gear siting on the solenoid shaft. The plastic became brittle with
age. Where can I get a replacement and is it possible to get a metal gear
instead? Anybody knows?
Thank you

Subject: [SlideCube] Problems with a AF70
Message-ID: <3E34608C.8060507@marcgyver.net>
My Projector AF70 douse not rotate the slide carousel.
When I try to advance or reverse (with or without slides;
with the platform up or down) the projector does not release and
rotate the carousel. It only vibrates (with a load buzz) the pin
that holds the carousel in position.
Has anyone had the same experiance?
Is this actuator/pin replacable?
Are these symptoms related to a broken gear wheel?
