Problem 

Picture  normal,  then  becomes  and  remains  unsteady;  heavier  than  normal  sound  from 
projector mechanism and possibly distorted sound from loudspeaker. 

Cause 

A bad join, or condition of perforations too poor for the automatic loop reformer to make 
all necessary corrections. 

Remedy 

Leave projector running but press system restorer 32f fully down for a few seconds, then 
release  it.  This  action  momentarily  brings  the  whole  of  the  automatic  threading  system 
back  into  operation,  thus  restoring  the  correct  relationships  between  the  film  and  the 
sprocket  wheels,  film  gate  and  sound  system.  Do  not  use  the  system  restorer  when  the 
projector is running in reverse. 

 

Problem 

Scratch appearing on screen. 

Cause 

This is almost certainly an existing scratch. Examine film coming down from front spool. If 
scratch remains on screen but is not seen entering projector, proceed to.... 

Remedy 

Switch  off  immediately.  Inspect  and  clean  film  path  between  entry  roller  "4"  and 
projection aperture in gate (Stages 63.64). 

 

Problem 

Scratch not visible on screen but visible on film at rear of projector. 

Cause 

Almost  certainly  an  existing  scratch  but  outside  the  projected  area.  Examining  film  as  it 
runs from front spool will show whether this is so. If scratch is not present at entry roller 
"4" but continues to be present at exit from projector, some abrasive particle has probably 
been carried by the film into the projector. 

Remedy 

Switch  off  and  clean  entire  film  path  (Stages  63,  64).  If  scratching  persists,  stop  the 
projector  and,  unthreading  progressively  if  necessary  as  described  in  Stages  45-50, 
determine  the  exact  point  in  the  film  path,  and  on  which  side  of  the  film,  the  scratch 
begins.  Concentrate  then  on  removing  all  foreign  matter  from  this  area.  Films  may  be 
encountered  which  have  been  "spliced"  with  wire  staples  or  similaily  abused.  If  you  are
