quote: Brad Miller *Spring in middle roller of brain still in tact and not properly lubricated. (Remove the stupid thing)
Hmmm. On every brain I've removed the tension spring on, there's so little tension (NO tension) that it feels like I'm running an ORC. I go to thread the film, and before I'm up to the top roller heading for the projector, the leader is spilling itself all over the floor by the bottom roller, and I'm not even pulling anymore!!
Also, when motoring the leader through, after I stop the motor, the leader spills out of the brain onto the floor as mentioned before.
During the show, the film running from the platter to the projector sags, then pulls itself taut in a rythemic motion.
How do I fix this ?
PS - Using the shitty black rollers and can't buy new ones since Christie somehow justifies charging $40 for a piece of plastic.
