Author Topic: Motiograph AA Intermittent-How to lock sprocket down Cody Martin Expert Film Handler Posts: 214 From: Edinburgh, IN, USA Registered: Jun 2004 posted 04-08-2006 09:35 AM                        Hello, I just ran a test loop through and noticed this problem after cleaning the intermittent last week. The int. sprocket spins freely. Behind the int sprock there is a set screw that I have in, but if the sprocket moves out more than .1cm or so it will just spin freely. I didn't have this problem before I cleaned it. The old sprocket came right out after using a little degreaser, so I don't think I broke anything. Any ideas? Attached is a picture to refresh everyones mind about the AA int.
