Oops. Thanks Rick! A VERY important bit of info I inadvertantly left out above...ALWAYS spray the degreaser on a shop towel or rag and THEN wipe your projector clean. This is ESPECIALLY important for the sound drum, as your bearings will freeze. Yet another one of those little booth rules like not bringing a toothbrush anywhere near a running projector.

That "don't bring a rag near a running projector" should have been tatooed on B*ff's arm. In the Nugget booth last month, he moved too fast and got the rag caught in the moving shutter (why he had the shutter cover off, no one knows) but luckily there's a shear pin on the Brenkert intermittent. Unluckily, it takes an hour and a half to replace it. B*ff did that all for free.......If it were up to me, nothing should ever come close to an operating projector, not even a projectionist. Everything should have been properly set up before starting the damn thing up in the first place. I swipe my gates and spring steels with a dab of Ecco 1500 on a rag. It usually gets 100% of the smegma that's collected there. Be careful tho, it doesn't like some plastics. It also gets sticky or dry masking tape and a huge number of other things off film. Does anyone have anything good or bad to say about Ecco 1500? Have you tried it with vermouth and an olive?
