Author Topic: Century C - Framing Hardware Armin Pohl Film Handler Posts: 11 From: Burlington, Ontario, Canada Registered: Mar 2001 posted 03-21-2001 02:25 PM                     Hi Everyone, My framing knob just spins around on the spring and doesn't move the gear that moves the frame up and down. So basically the film better not jump a sprocket once thredaed perfectly or i have to stop the projector and reframe the film manually. I noticed on the other Century C's that I have, there is something like a cotter pin that connects the 2 pieces of tubing together that in turn turn the gear that makes the frame go up and down. That pin is missing on my 'broken' projector. I didn't see it listed in the manual and I'm not sure if the framing assembly is all one piece, pin included. It doesn't look like the pin can be pulled out of the other Century C's. HELP ?!?!?! Armin Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

It is listed in the parts manual, somewhere. The Century parts manual is a bit to navigate until you get used to it...They start as assemblies like C1-E-00....then there are subassemblies located below the overall assembly....you keep working your way down until you get to the individual part numbers.
