Double-Blade .185" Shutter
Kodak M-Series projectors were produced with different shutter configurations, making it important to identify the shutter in your projector before ordering.
Part 178642 is the double-blade shutter for the .185" shutter-drive shaft configuration.
To select the correct replacement, check both the number of blades on your existing shutter and the diameter of the shutter-drive shaft.
Measure Carefully Before Ordering
Kodak used both .185" and .187" shutter-drive shaft sizes. The difference is only .002", making the two sizes difficult to distinguish without an accurate measuring tool.
A digital caliper is recommended for measuring the shutter-drive shaft and determining which size your projector requires.
For the .185" configuration:
- 178641 – Single-Blade, .185"
- 178642 – Double-Blade, .185"
If your existing shutter has two blades and the shutter-drive shaft measures .185", 178642 is the correct configuration.
Rebuilt Replacement Shutter
New replacement shutters for these vintage Kodak projectors are no longer available. Serviceable original shutter assemblies are therefore rebuilt to keep these projectors operating.
Your old shutter is valuable even when it is no longer functioning properly because it may provide the core needed to produce another rebuilt replacement.
$10 Core Charge
This shutter has a $10 core charge.
If you send us your old shutter with your order, you will not be billed the core charge.
If an old shutter is not received with your order, the $10 core charge will be billed. When you later return your old shutter, you will receive credit for the core.
Returning old shutters helps us continue supplying rebuilt replacements for Kodak projectors as the remaining supply of original parts becomes increasingly limited.
