That if it the same as mine. What kind of platters do you have.  |  IP: Logged Gregory N.

Start by getting a middle reference for the payout arm. While holding the payout arm still and using an allen wrench, turn the screw clockwise until the platter deck starts to move. Then slightly turn the screw counter-clockwise and you should be all set. Most of the adjustments are made by the two blue potentiometers connected to the take-up circuit boards under the decks. The (P2) pot is the high speed adjustment while the (P3) pot is the low speed. Jan, if you forward me a fax number I can send some instructions to you.  |  IP: Logged Jan Hackett Expert Film Handler Posts: 148 From: Albuquerque, NM, USA Registered: Apr 2002 posted 05-09-2002 01:00 PM                     Thanks that helps me alot email me at jhackett@nmmnh.state.nm.us ------------------ Jan Hackett Theater Operations Manager Extreme Screen Dynatheater NM Museum of Natural History Foundation  |  IP: Logged
