Author Topic: Christie P35GPS Auto Turret Parts & Prices? HOPE WELLS Film Handler Posts: 1 From: Grand Rapids, MI USA Registered: Jan 2000 posted 01-16-2000 10:25 PM                     I am searching for diagrams, parts lists, and prices for the turret on my projector. My problem is that when I change the lens it doesn't rotate all the way. We actually have to physically move it to the desired position. This usually occurs going flat to scope. Is there rubber tires or an o-ring that the drive motor pushes up against? Or is it a geared tooth? Manual is extremely vague in description and need help! Thanks!  |  IP: Logged Paul Konen Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 981 From: Frisco, TX.

I have a couple that do that also but just continue turning by hand until in the right position.  |  IP: Logged Jason Burroughs Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 654 From: Allen, TX Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-17-2000 11:22 AM                     There is an adjustment that can be made on the christie projector that determines how long the motor runs to change the lens. This process is explained pretty well in the manual. Annother possibility is that the relays that controll the changeover motor are shot, I've seen this happen quite a few times as well.  |  IP: Logged Richard Hamilton Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1341 From: Evansville, Indiana Registered: Jan 2000 posted 01-19-2000 12:28 AM                     this is a simple adjustment of your scope lens!!  |  IP: Logged
