I've been reading through numerous threads on this forum for a couple hours and can't find answers to following questions. This is a casual home use environment, not a public theatre. I just fired up one of my old standard Simplex's for first time in about 20years, ran a few trailers, and it ran sweet and quiet, but I discovered one of the oil sight windows was disintegrated and no oil left in unit. I made a new sight window, glued it on with JB Quik and it seems to be holding oil, but before running it more I'd like to fix it correctly by installing new sight windows from the inside like they should be. One of my "parts" heads has identical intermittent which I've removed, opened up to study insides, then closed up and it hand spins smooth. OK, now my questions: 1. Can I remove the two gears, remove and re-install the intermittent and then the gears without messing up machine timing if I didn't rotate shutter or turn anything while gears and intermittent were out of machine? 2. Can I open up the intermittent to install new sight windows, then put the front back on and re-install unit without messing up running tolerances?
