Brenkert....Intermittent sprocket film stripper is not adjusted correctly and probably bent.
Ballentyne PRO-35....That lay-on roller before the holdback sprocket is probably of the old style. Normally, they give horizontal scratches.
Simplex in general: Intermittent film sprocket stripper loose and ready to fall off.
Century: Same thing.
Platters: Badly warped dish. If I got this correct by thinking the sound track is wound down on the platter instead of up, the warled platter could give emulsion scratches.
Just a few ideas....
You said quote: Richard Greco It is sporadic on the right side towards the center
Right side on the screen? That would be side opposite the sound track. Could be the angle roller on the platter (CFS, POTTS, Strong)
More than likely, the film is beating in the projector or partially derailing in the pay-out head, probably the film stripper.
Could be a roller going "Wooga Wooga," too.
If it is just slightly off center, I would guess a sprung or loose film stripper rather than the platter. If it is a pro-35, replace that lay-on roller between the int sprocket and the holdback, or just take them off and throw them in your bone box.
