Its without doubt the next worse platter to a CFS Stupid Platter....

Other than that, I believe it's fairly hopeless.  |  IP: Logged Jeffry L.

Order the spring for 70mm prints. The spring is item 22 on drawing number 11-0106170, control box cover sub-assembly.  |  IP: Logged Jim Ziegler Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 753 From: West Hollywood, CA Registered: Jul 99 posted 03-13-2005 04:17 PM                     Will replacing that spring put us at any risk of film damage?  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 03-13-2005 04:40 PM                     He really shuoln't be having that loose of a wind with the regular spring in there. None of the Neurotic platters we service have to have the 70mm spring for a normal tight wind. Perhaps his springs are getting lazy or the rubber roller needs replacing. But I agree SPECO's are a far better choice, AW-3's are even better. Mark  |  IP: Logged
