Author Topic: Entre Electronics slide projector dissolve unit repair Ken Layton Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1452 From: Olympia, Wash. USA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 10-05-2002 10:50 PM                     Recently I have had to repair several of the Entre Electronics model D100C single slide projector fader/dissolve units that are used with Kodak slide projectors without built-in timers or lamp fade capability. The symptoms are erratic operation i.e. sometimes they work, sometimes not. Sometimes they just stay on the same slide and then if you bang on the metal case the unit starts working again (but only for a little while). I have found most of the problems have been caused by cold solder joints at the two vertically mounted "Delay" and "Rate" trimpots. Same goes for the "Timer On-Off" switch, too. While I have the circuit board out to resolder those connections, I also resolder the relay in there. These units have been pretty reliable and the cold solder joints have been the only problems I have come across. Haven't had any component failures yet.  |  IP: Logged Shaun Flichel Film Handler Posts: 42 From: Regina, Sask., Canada Registered: Sep 2002 posted 10-05-2002 11:21 PM                     Sometimes a good thump is all the equipment needs  |  IP: Logged
