Well, I found a mint Wetzlar 90mm CF Colorplan on ebay. Now all images pop 
into beautiful sharp display. Now there is a "burning electrics" smell 
coming out with fan exhaust. I pulled the lids and determined smell seems to 
coming from the bulb/condensor unit. I vacumed out all dust and an exam does 
not show anything burning or overheating. I'm stumped.

Also I discovered this projector has a rotating bulb holder stage to bring a 
different bulb and reflector into play. Why?

I sure wish I had access to a manual and schematic for the Pradovit 253 IR.

Again, any advide will be most appreciated. Bill Lawlor
