Author Topic: Centruy SA intermittent John Westlund Expert Film Handler Posts: 204 From: Burney, CA, USA Registered: Jun 2001 posted 09-18-2001 07:33 PM                     The intermittent on our Century SA is about to go out. We have a rebuilt on the way that should be here soon. What I am wondering is if anyone has any good tips for changing them of knows any good technical resources. I have the manual and it explains it pretty well. Just wondering if there is anything to make the job easier. Thanks in advance.  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia. Registered: Dec 1999 posted 09-18-2001 07:37 PM                     It's really a very easy job. Just follow the manual and you should be fine. After a while you'll be able to change them in your sleep.  |  IP: Logged Tom Sauter Expert Film Handler Posts: 163 From: Buffalo, NY, USA Registered: Sep 2000 posted 09-20-2001 03:36 PM                        Make sure you remember to fill the new one with oil, too Some techs recommend that the fiber gear on the vertical shaft should be changed at the same time, as these mesh with their intermittent over time. The century manuals are dead-on, especially the part about the dime.  |  IP: Logged
