Author Topic: identify leftover mystery part William Hooper Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1879 From: Mobile, AL USA Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-02-2002 01:17 AM                        This plate was left over in the pile of parts that was a disassembled Simplex 35, & then put back together. What is it? It looks familiar. Bothersome detail: it suddenly struck me that it's odd because it doesn't have grease, oil, or ground-up movies all over it.  |  IP: Logged Paul G. Thompson The Weenie Man Posts: 4718 From: Mount Vernon WA USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 09-02-2002 01:21 AM                     Looks like an adapter plate used to mount a Simplex 35 (or practically any other projector such as a Century, Brenkert, E-7, Super, etc.) on an RCA 9030/9050 soundhead.  |  IP: Logged Randy Bowden Expert Film Handler Posts: 146 From: Portland, OR, USA Registered: Aug 2000 posted 09-02-2002 03:03 AM                     Looks like an adapter plate for Simplex to RCA. You mount it to the bottom of the Simplex and this allows you to run on an RCA soundhead.  |  IP: Logged Bernard Tonks Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 619 From: Cranleigh, Surrey, England Registered: Apr 2001 posted 09-02-2002 03:11 AM                     Confirmed! That is an adapter plate I had on my RCA 9031 soundheads to mount a Westar (Century) projector head.  |  IP: Logged William Hooper Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1879 From: Mobile, AL USA Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-02-2002 04:43 AM                        Thanks, guys! These are on 4 star sound heads. So where the adapter plate came from, who knows!  |  IP: Logged Josh Jones Redhat Posts: 1207 From: Plano, TX Registered: Apr 2000 posted 09-02-2002 02:14 PM                        Also note that the gear mesh adjustment screw is missing.
