IMPORTANT
The rewind lever (I) must be set to ―Normal."
If this is not done the upper spool will not revolve freely and will prevent the
film being fed to the sprocket.
 Having extinguished all the room lights, turn the main switch (V) in a
clockwise direction, the first position starts the motor, the second lights
the lamp at reduced wattage, the third brings the lamp to full intensity.
To switch off, turn the switch in an anti-clockwise direction.
 If the projected picture is blurred and indistinct this can be corrected by
rotating the lens (M) one way or the other until the picture is clearly
defined.
 The motor speed control (U) should be rotated until natural movement is
depicted on the screen.
 Do not run the projector too fast. The correct speed for silent films is 16
frames per second or two revolutions of the sprockets per second (8mm.
one revolution per second). The Specto projector gives flickerless
pictures at lower speeds than normal and you can make your films last
longer by running slower.
FRAMING
When a portion of another "frame" appears on the screen either above or
below the projected picture, an adjustment should be made by means of the
framing screw (Z).
Screwing down removes the unwanted portion from the bottom of the picture.
Alternatively, loosening the screw cuts out the intruding portion from the top
of the picture.
Should the bottom loop be "lost," due to faulty perforations in the film, it is
preferable to stop the projector. Ensure that the claw is disengaged from the
film, then; re-form the loop by pulling down the film with a finger and check
that the loops are maintained by turning the inching knob a few revolutions.
REWINDING
As soon as "The End" appears on the screen the projector lamp should be
switched off, but the motor may be allowed to continue working until all film is
wound on the take-up spool.
