Author Topic: Hole in AW3 brain? Manuel Francisco Valencia Expert Film Handler Posts: 151 From: Oklahoma City, OK, USA Registered: Dec 2000 posted 01-19-2004 08:03 PM                     There is a hole in the base of the AW3 brain just below the upper roller. I have never really given much thought to its purpose before but is there anyone who knows why the hell it is there?  |  IP: Logged Mike Olpin Chop Chop!

The brain only has four white posts and if this were for another then that would make five. Not only that the post would be pressing on the underside of the top roller.  |  IP: Logged Mike Olpin Chop Chop!

I thought you meant under, looking at the brain from a top view (which was making me wonder which side you considered to be the top.)  |  IP: Logged Manuel Francisco Valencia Expert Film Handler Posts: 151 From: Oklahoma City, OK, USA Registered: Dec 2000 posted 01-20-2004 03:49 PM                     I was just sent a private message stating that this is a hole for an L-shaped bracket that holds an air pot for the arm of the brain. Has anyone ever had one of these and what are they like?  |  IP: Logged David Stambaugh Film God Posts: 4021 From: Eugene, Oregon Registered: Jan 2002 posted 01-21-2004 11:32 AM                        Sorry to stray off-topic, but the title of this thread "Hole in AW3 Brain" makes me think of Mad Cow Disease.  |  IP: Logged Steve Kraus Film God Posts: 4094 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 01-21-2004 09:11 PM                    The thread is about Mad Cow disease. You must already be afflicted if you can't see that. BTW, now we know why Soylent Green would be a really bad idea.  |  IP: Logged
