I am having a major problem with this. I still have three houses running a high error rate to the point where the CP-500 defaults from SRD to SRA. The tech came up to the theater while I was at Sho-West and condemned the scanner drum bearings. At the end of the show, I gave each scanner drum a spin with my fingers, and they were smooth as silk on rundown with no bearing roughness detected in all three houses. However, while the film was running and the scanners were up to speed, I touched the lateral guide roller I did detect a harsh roughness. But yet, this roughness was not apparent when I lifted the guide roller and gave it a spin with my fingers. Is it possible I have some belts going South in the projector? I did detect what I thought was some uneven speed present in the lateral guide area as the projector was running. The Dash pots are working properly, and I am going to call in another tech to see if there is enough video acquisition signal present. Any other suggestions?

Mark, indeed, they do as you mentioned when I pinch the two together.Brad, I will check what those things have. I think they are the older readers, as I do not recall having seen Double D on them.
