It's cheaper to locate another projector to use as spares. Or if you need a gear go to a gear shop. When I was at CLACO we had all sorts of parts made... Gate Bands, Compound curved runners, 35mm VKF Sprockets, DTS adapter plates, we also stocked one converted sound reproducer because the Kinoton is too lightly made and a PIA to change LED's on. WE used the BACP kit and I did all the machining.
Anyway, It's still a good idea to open it up and clean the particle magnet off. Many techs don't even know there is one in the movement. Everyone of the 50+ that I have had apart had the magnet covered with a mound of metal shards. If dropped, or received rough treatment in shipping they could break loose from the magnet. That magnet also catches metal particles from other areas of the projector that the main magnet in the filter missed. Most of those movement magnets are going to have over 50 years of metal crud on them!Last edited by Mark Gulbrandsen; 03-17-2022, 02:41 PM.
