Yeah - that thing is known by some Brenkert nuts as a "Hoop-De-Doo" and it was named that by my friend Jim Bonholzer who had a ton of Brenkerts in all his drive-in theatres here in Washington State.I might have one laying around in my junk. I'll check tomorrow.
By the way, (I am sure you know by now) the screw on the end of the intermittant sprocket is a left-handed thread. Incidently, that part is sold separately. (Used to be, anyway...)

Good job, Sam.  Hey, I have a sprocket with the "Hoop-De-Doo" on it. Send me some cordinates, and I'll mail it to you Monday. Merry Christmas. By the way, I could not help but notice the film stripper is sprung. I would highly recommend that you tuck it in between the sprocket centers so the film does not beat on it. If the film is allowed to beat on it, you'll have horizontal scratches up the gazoo. Either that, or just take the damn thing off and order a new one if they can be found. PS...By looking at that picture, I can see why you didn't have much trouble laying and setting up the shutter shaft bracket. A complement to you..you must be a top-notched machinist and mechanic.

Thanks Much for the compliment Paul.
All acomplished using a drill press and Dremel.
Thanks for noticing that stripper problem too.
IS the stripper supposed to curve around the sprocket and be more centered? ANy photos of one in the correct position, as I feel certain I can get it back right if I knew what it was supposed to look like.
Thanks!Paul,
I will email you my address.
Thanks!

Yes, it should be centered. Also, curve it enough so there is no way the film can slap the stripper. The closer you can get the end of the stripper as close to the sprocket center without making contact with the sprocket, the better off you will be. If the curvature of the stripper protrudes from the lower portion of the sprocket, film damage could result.Although my artwork leaves much to be desired, make it look something similar to this:  Actually, this side-by-side comparison might make more sense.
