Back Again,
So one of the Simplex Projectors has an issue with Reel To Reel. Proj. 2 seems to run just fine and very smooth, but Proj 1 When you thread up and start the motot a weird sound occurs above the intermittent in the gate area. I noticed when running a test 6k reel of a test print, the picture was shaky a bit upside down and there was a strange clanky sound happening which indicated something was wrong. Originally this was tied to another issue where I replaced the gate(due to base scratches) for a new one, but the sound came back attempting to run a 6K reel. I consulted with a couple of people on the issue and they said the gate and the arms have nothing really to do with each other and if i wanted to adjust the tension springs on the mag arms which I did and the sound would somewhat go away but not really, picture also straightened out. Are there any adjustments that should be made or should a 6K Reel go on no problem with a slight adjustment to make room? I have ran 6Ks in the past on century and kinoton projectors, no real adjustments were made except for the kinoton where I had to pick what size reel i was using if I remember correctly. Any insight appreciated.
