Repairing Selectron Carriage

[P3D Michael Dabrosca <cazephyr@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The Selectron carriage for my TDC projector has a shutter problem: the 
shutter does not open when a slide is inserted fully. I tried soaking the 
thing in one of the Photo-3d-approved solvents (no way--I won't say WHICH 
one!) thinking it may be gummed up, but nope, no gunk. So I took out as 
many screws as possible, looked way inside and it seems to be a 
mechanical issue. The little "foot" that is supposed to push the shutter 
open at the appropriate moment is not staying aligned to the plane of the 
shutter--flopping about, so to speak-- and just gets shoved in the wrong 
spot, often getting trapped inside the edge of the shutter. When I reset 
its correct position with a small screwdriver, it works fine as long as I 
hold it flat. That won't do, of course.

So, can this thing be fixed? The housing is riveted shut which does not 
help inquisitive types like me. Any suggestions or offers would be 
appreciated.

Thanks, gang.
