DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN - Lubrication: Apply a film lubricant such as Film-Guard or Xecote to the gate rails and bands and to the intermittent shoe. - Be sure to check the focus after the previews (if any) and feature presentation tags go through.  |  IP: Logged Jim Cassedy Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1661 From: San Francisco, CA Registered: Dec 2006 posted 04-09-2010 02:40 PM                     >CHECK YOUR REEL 8's CAREFULLY< I have received TWO new prints of this film and both of them have the last reel (Reel 8) printed 1/2 sprocket hole out of registration, making it impossible to to make a properly framed splice between reels 7 & 8. Until they can find me a good print or reel, it's necessary to run up and re-frame the print for reel 8 on every show. FYI> These prints were on Black & White Stock  |  IP: Logged Victor Liorentas Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 800 From: london ontario canada Registered: May 2009 posted 04-09-2010 04:39 PM                     My print was on B/W stock and looked great! My reel 8 was perfect so not all prints are mis printed.  |  IP: Logged
