Author Topic: Neumade M.U.T. problem Carmine Occhino Film Handler Posts: 27 From: New york city Registered: May 2003 posted 05-17-2003 03:53 AM                     When running the film to the platter with the neumade MUT, the film dances up and down causing improper rewind tension and the possibility of platter scratches. This problem has gotten worse over time. I believe this is because there is not enough back tension on the feed reel. For the time being I've been manually applying tension to the reel by holding the flanges lightly. Is there a way to increase or adjust the back tension to the reel or spindle ? I looked under the hood and can't see how it is done. PS- After looking under the hood, I'll never use the brake again.  |  IP: Logged Sean McKinnon Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1712 From: Peabody Massachusetts Registered: Sep 2000 posted 05-18-2003 12:40 AM                        What make and model of platter are you using? is it an older Xetron model?  |  IP: Logged Carmine Occhino Film Handler Posts: 27 From: New york city Registered: May 2003 posted 05-20-2003 01:25 PM                     It's a NXP-3500 Platter.
