Yea, I know that booth. Centurys, Autowind 3's, Super Lume-X with overcooked 2k Osrams, RAVEN Commander automation, USL JS-200 series...et.al.
I could live in that booth being the many, many things that needs to be done to that place..
Welcome to the Forum, Michael. I've been doing work at the Terrace as well in getting her Century SA up to snuff.
Yea Mike, give me a holler if you need help on this. Be glad to help you out.

I think I got it cured without any form of adjustments - called "operator error" of sorts.
Operators building their lower loops too small and loop smaking against the lower constant feed sprocket pad arm hub assembly. For I ran a trailer as Tim mentioned through the machine without any usage of guidance rollers - just held the roll above the machine and let the film pile on the floor after the film exited the machine. Then picked up the end, that wasn't touching the floor, to see if I can see any scratching on either side of the film. Film was clean-no scratches on either side. Course, I threaded up that Century to loop specs with the intermittent assembly in the center of the vertical frame travel.
I did see the results of such scratching on the feature that was being presented, and the scratches, on the screen, were upper center screen lateral scratches that was a constant frame scratch-this scratch being in the same place at each frame, not a line, or linear scratch if was caused by rollers or a dragging problem.
