Keith, the AW3, if you have an old manule that dates back to 1977,78 do not use the timing procedure, I found that version was wrong, I tried several years ago to timed the platters using that manule & was wrong, I talked to a friend who instructed me the correct way & been doing that since !! When I was at your theatre with Scott to do the retrofit, I didn't notice any manuals....but if you need any help on timing & adjusting the LED's, e-mail me at Dons@goucs.com & I will walk you though if you need it....

Hey Guys, here's my 2-cents...on the AW3 if the platter still turns a little, I found the LED to be bad almost everytime, even though the LED ohms were adjusted to 70K, the LED can still be bad, replace it, adjust the ohms to 70K...all works properly, if that doesn't fix the problem check to see the light vane is not rubbing the sensor, if not then check the spring action, & if that don't work, get a SPECO Platter !!

>>what can Christie platters do (once tweaked) that SPECO platters cannot?<<Such as? Please elaborate. Brad: I think the main reason the feed control arm doesn't automatically zero is more of a gravity problem (platter is not level) more than anything. I will be there today to have a look at it. -Aaron
