Author Topic: Motor drive wheel Bill Bright Film Handler Posts: 25 From: St. Petersburg, Florida Registered: Oct 2003 posted 01-21-2007 09:54 PM                     Hello, this really isn't a major problem but the motor drive wheel on some of the platters I have leaves a lot of sticky residue behind. I've cleaned all of the platter disks and replaced the drive motor wheel and within a week I have the same problem. I am using a Christie autowind M3 and a Christie P35GPS projector. Any tips on different cleaning materials or suggestions would be great.

Typically this happens to only some batches of the Christie drive wheels. I suggest that you get your drive wheels from Wolk... they have not exhibited that problem.
