If turning the adjustments doesn't help, then the gate tension bands (or shoes) are worn and should be replaced. Also, you should check the side film guide rails to see if a groove has worn into the metal. If so, that should be replaced.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 06-13-1999 01:56 PM                     What make and model projectors are you referring to?  |  IP: Logged
