Hey, are any of you guys familiar with BX100 and their problems. Here's one for you that I can't figure out. I have 2 BX100's. I bought them from the theatre I was working in at the time. Brought them home, cleaned up the one very well and mounted it and got it working. When the were last used in the theatre they worked well. When I used them in my house for a little while they ran great, even a nice steady picutre that some of my machines at work don't have. I had let it sit for awhile (money ran out and I couldn't finish the screening room) When I went back to it a years and a half later, I oiled everything while hand turing the motor and then I turned it on. It's making a strange sound now. It sounds like something is rattling loose in the gear box. The picture is still very steady and it runs fine but it's SO Much louder than it ever was. Like I said it sounds like something is loose and is rattling around in there. It's hard to isolate the sound but it seems to be coming from the back of the projector and towards the top. Everything that everyone suggests to me doesn't seem to be the problem. Everything seems to be tight and in good shape. Any suggestions on what it might be? Could it be the Star gear? If it was, would I still have a steady picture? Bernie Anderson

I'm assuming that the cage blower is the little spinning blower at the top? What does that do? I couldn't ever figure out what it's purpose was. Where are the framing compensator splines located? You know, when I turn the framing knob it seems to relieve the sound a little bit, it's still quite loud but slightly goes away. What did you mean by "be sure the intermittant is properly and fully seated and locked in place."? Could it be a bad intermittant? I was told by a good tech I know that as the machines running if you slightly push in on the intermittant sprocket from the side and you hear it get louder, it's a sign that they're going bad or are damaged. Is this true? Is there anyway to check? Actually, I've tried this at work on Century SA's and the ones that did create a chattering sound ended up going bad a couple of months later. (That particular theatre had no one really taking care of it) Any suggestions you guys give me is great. Not too many people know these machines anymore and I love them, Every Brenkert I've worked with has one of the best looking pictures I've ever seen. The ones I have actually came from the Union Drive in New Jersey, so they have a certain sentimental value and instead of changing them out to something else, I would really like to get them working. But thanks again

Hi, Check the fan assy set screw (pg 45 part # X-1501) also the p-1026 on the governor assy. I have had these come lose and make noise, Also, check the fan housing around the blade for foreign articles..pieces of metal, dirt, a lost screw or something that may be rattleing. Also, check the X3603 'umbrella' gear on the shutter shaft drive assy (pg 44)
see if there are any teeth missing or flattened. When sitting idle for long periods, the inner & outer shutter shafts will bind together with residue from the oil,
causing excessive load on this gear, and tooth failure! The pitch will cahnge when framing. the other problem spot is the collars on this gear, make sure there is no end play on the shaft. Good luck! John
