Thanks, Mark- - that's probably just what I need.
I'm still able to 'focus' OK, but it seems that my aging eyes are starting to loose their 'night vision' (or 'booth vision!) qualities.
Actually, I still need to go back & finish up on that job, but I've been 'booked solid' with a steady stream of film festivals plus press and Academy Screening events that I haven't been able to go back & re-spring their gate.
Fortunately, they don't use the 35mm too often, and for now a heavy rubber band has worked adequately to hold thier gate closed.
I'm in Phoenix this week, but when I get back to San Francisco, fixing that gate is one of the first things on my 'to do' list.
I have a wholebuncha screenings at Dolby when I get back, and the venue with the broken gate is only about mile away from there, so I'll probably just stop in & fixit some afternoon on my way to work.
. . .and I'll wear one of my "super bright" headlights- - similar to this one: ![-](http://www.film-tech.com/uploads/uploads0503/Headlight.jpg)
FYI> To anyone in the SF Bay Area- I'm scheduled to be doing all the 'tech-stuff' at the November SMPTE meeting at Dolby Labs the night I return from Phoenix. (Nov 20th) So if U R there, be sure to stick your head in the booth & say "hi" >More Info Here<
