Author Topic: how is this possible? Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA. USA (1774.21 miles northeast of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-30-2000 07:20 PM                        OK, I finally got around to using the parts from three nonfunctional Super Simplex heads to build a single, mostly functional one. I still have one problem that keeps me scratching my head... I have the shutter timing set correctly, which I can verify by inching the projector by hand. But when I run the projector with the motor at sync speed, the shutter seems to go in and out of time; at regular intervals of about a second, the picture will alternate between being crystal clear and being overly "streaky". The shutter is definitely not loose on the shaft. So...how is this possible? What's the fix? Do I need to replace the intermittent? I have a spare, but I'd rather not go to the trouble if there's another, obvious fix. Thanks!  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-30-2000 07:29 PM                     Sounds like the G87 is loose on its shaft or there is a striped spot on one of the shutter gears It probably isn't the intermitent  |  IP: Logged
