You need to be as clear about this as you can be.#1 What kind of projector? #2 What color is the scratch? Do you know if it is on the base or emulsion? #3 Does the scratch extend from the top to bottom of the picture frame? #4 Is the scratch stationary, or does it move around? Is there a pattern to it's movement? #5 Is the scratch vertical, horizontal, diagonal, and at what approximate degree of tilt? Is it curved?

If it was the drum, I doubt there would be any horizontal scratches from it.Are the scratches on the emulsion or on the base? If the scratches are on an angle you should perhaps be looking at the platter or a roller where the film turns a corner. ------------------ "It's not the years honey, it's the mileage' - Indiana Jones.
