ADJUSTMENTS AND REPLACEMENTS
REFER TO THIS SECTION in conjunction to performing the steps in the MAINTENANCE
section. Conscientious maintenance and service of the Simplex Apogee Projector Mechanism will insure many
years of excellent performance.
ADJUSTMENTS are quickly accomplished, and replacements performed, as all units and
components are readily removed. Adjustments and replacements described below may be performed by
qualified projection booth personnel. Any elements of maintenance and service not detailed below should be
referred to an authorized Strong International Dealer.
FILM TRAP AND APERTURE CHANGER ASSEMBLY
Dismount the aperture motor cover plate (see Parts List, “Film Trap” drawing, Item 53) by releasing the
quarter-turn fastener (Item 54) and loosening the (2) phillips head screws (Item 44). Loosen the captive, slot
head mounting screw (Item 34) and remove the trap assembly from the film compartment.
To replace, make certain that the contacting surfaces on both the mounting plate and the trap casting are
clean. Align the pins of the electical connector pins and slide the film trap in so that it registers with the (2)
dowel pins in the main frame. Carefully guide the electrical plug into its receptacle for the the aperture change
motor and framing light PC board connection. Securely tighten the captive mounting screw.
Check the alignment of the intermittent sprocket to the film trap (see INTERMITTENT MOVEMENT
section following).
PRESSURE STRAP REPLACEMENT
Dismount the film trap and associated components. Rotate the trap tension knob fully counterclockwise
to the “minus” (–) position. Remove the (2) screws from each strap, and remove the straps. Replace with new
straps and reassemble. NOTE: Project film to reset gate pressure (see START-UP PROCEDURES).
STUDIO GUIDE REPLACEMENT
Remove the film gate runner and open the turret assembly. Remove the (2) socket head screws to dis-
mount the fixed, outboard studio guide. Position and install the replacement outboard studio guide. The two
spring-loaded inboard studio guides, which serve as lateral guides, can be dismounted by removing the (2) slot-
headed shoulder screws. Clean the spring channels and inspect the springs for proper tension before replacing.
Close the turret and replace the film gate.
APERTURE PLATE ADJUSTMENT
Gear mesh between the aperture drive motor spur gear and the rack gear on the aperture slide can be set
by loosening the (2) 10-32 socket head screws and moving the motor, on its mounting plate, up or down. The
motor plate mounting holes are slotted for this purpose.
