Author Topic: Strong simplex millennium Maintenance Mike Moreno Expert Film Handler Posts: 200 From: culiacan sinaloa mexico Registered: Jul 2008 posted 02-14-2009 12:45 PM                        we have some STRONG consoles and projectors specific simplex millennium projectors and I know that on maintenance I have to replace the oil, Pressure Straps and motor bands. My question is what else does it has to be replaced during maintenance? Do I have to change something inside the mechanism? and somebody can tell me how tu upload pictures here? thanks  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 02-14-2009 12:53 PM                     You pretty well hit it with the routine maintenance list there since these units are sturdy units. Leave the inside alone when it comes to a routine maintenance thing. You should add daily cleaning to the list. When you click on the link below the reply box that you typed you message in, there will be instructions on how to upload images. Follow them to the letter, or it will not work.

Sounds like the unit got starved of oil to destroy the main drive gear if you say that was replaced. But, if the oil that comes out of the upper tube looks like it's barely coming out and you have correct oil level, (level should be just below the top in the circular sight glass in the front of the frame..) the filter screen at the bottom of the pump is prob clogged up - maybe why you had that intermittent assembly drive gear problem. good luck-Monte  |  IP: Logged
