I have just had my old Hanimex 1500RF slide projector out to view some old
35mm slides and had to fix it.
The top casing is held onto the base by about 6 screws that screw up into
moulded pillars in the top casing. Most of these have split and no lionger
can accept a screw.

I am left wondering how to keep the top attached to the bottom. Any ideas?



Try and find some tube which fits over the pillars, even plastic. Apply
a filler type glue- epoxy or car body filler and slide tubes into place.
Leave to set. Drill small pilot holes and, with luck, the screws will
'cut' a new thread. The grey 'isopon' stuff works well. For tubes, I try
to find old pen bodies, caps etc.
