I recently purchased a Holmes model 8 that was built around 1940. I have torn it down and regreased the gearbox, and cleaned and lubed everything. I converted the exciter lamp to a 1156 auto bulb with a 12v DC power supply. Today I played sound for the first time in the 1 1/2 months that I have been working on this. Pretty good for optical with a 16mm solar cell installed. On another site that I visit regularly, I have heard from 5 folks who have good things to say about Holmes. Mine has run a loop of film for an hour without scratching anything. After reading about shedding on this site, I am not worried about what I did find on the gate, and pressure pads after an hour. Does anybody here have anything good or bad to say to me about this creature? Personally, I like it, but it is a bit tight in threading. Does anybody know where I might find parts? I have found some, but I need a set of magazines for my #2 machine that I plan to start on next. Any help out there? Thanks, Bruce
