Author Topic: Cinemeccanica DGB 2x4 Per Hauberg Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 883 From: Malling, Denmark Registered: Jul 2000 posted 07-22-2000 07:02 PM                        Yet another spoof, I would ask someone's help for: This (very old) tower, normally runs evvery time it's asked to do so. (Capacity reserve - have no space in booth for taking films out of platter with clamps, that's why the DGB is still there - would need a scanner to explain better - please just believe). The last two days, though - the take-up sounds like a machine-gun, running very uneven - causing emergency stop on projector. Friction felt is soaking ok - and i've never tried to take the thing apart. Would it be this "weight-controlled" winding system, mentioned in manual or what ? Any idea - pease inform. Thanks alot !

It is about 2and a half inches in diameter by about 3inches long. the toothed take-up belt runs around one end. Thos could be the source of your noise. Also, the weight controlled clutch adjuster could be loose. To check, I think it's a 2.5mm allen key located on the bottom of the take-up spindle assembly. Lossen the allen key and slide it backware or foward to adjust. Hope this helps.  |  IP: Logged
