Something like the Christie diagram under TIPS/Threading 101. thanks... Armin  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA.

The C has exactly the same threading pattern; the only major difference is that it uses a straight gate rather than curved, but everything else is the same.  |  IP: Logged Dustin Mitchell Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1865 From: Mondovi, WI, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 04-25-2001 03:59 PM                     The SA is one of the easiest projectors to thread. It is very forgiving of mistakes. Only bit of advice I can give that I know for sure is the correct way of doing things is to set the upper loop with the pad roller in the open posistion and the film threaded so it is tight around it. The manual says to set the lower loop with the pad roller open too, but either I'm doing something wrong or that gives a too small loop every time.  |  IP: Logged
