Have you had an operator thread to the bottom platter of a Christie AW3, set it lower than the set pin, and cause long black platter scratches. (Brad mentions this problem in a document in the Tips Section) I placed a 1" hose clamp at the base where the roller mechanism is in the proper position. If the operator tries to place it too low, hopefully, the operator will notice that the mechanism IS obviously in the wrong position and they will fix it.  |  IP: Logged Steve Kraus Film God Posts: 4094 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 08-27-2002 12:14 AM                    Wow...something useful made with a plastic junction box. I mean I sure wouldn't wire my house with them.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-27-2002 12:33 AM                     Well done! But the best modification would be to make it an all gear driven machine. Are you working on that? Mark  |  IP: Logged
