I'm looking at a booth which is supposed to be "almost ready to go", & the intermittent was out of one of the projectors. When I chased it down, it had a spot chewed out of the nylon main drive gear. 1. What may have caused that? Is it some familiar catastrophe? 2. Is the main drive gear in the Simplex 35 intermittent field-replaceable? Or should the whole thing be rebuilt?

Jeeze, Mark. I don't know.Rick, there was a theatre chain I used to work for that was not too good. Seems like the management made us eat alot of them in the course of our duties. Actually, I like this picture better. I don't look like an old grump anymore. It makes me look much younger. This picture is one Josh took of me while we were sitting at the cafeteria at Strong International. It reminds me of the Maytag Repairman. Notice my hat is on backwards - the way lots of kids wear them these days. Us old Senior Citizens gotta crack up once in a while. John Wilmers gave each of us one with the Century Logo. The back of the hat says "Gear Driven." ooooOOOOoooo----The Christie folks won't like that one. ![](http://www.film-tech.com/ubb/biggrin.gif) I'll bet the Christie folk's hat says, "Have a gearless day." ![](http://www.film-tech.com/ubb/scream.gif) Or, maybe the Cinemashakia folk's hats will say, "Have a Shaky Day." ![](http://www.film-tech.com/ubb/eek.gif) Quite possible, Simplex's hat will say, "Have a Oily Day." ![](http://www.film-tech.com/ubb/confused.gif)
