Author Topic: Christie = Dust + Static? Ian Price Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1714 From: Denver, CO Registered: Jun 99 posted 11-03-1999 06:23 PM                     Hey Joe, How about those 25 year old Cinemeccanicas that UA installed in the theatre they are trying to get rid of. The technician says they sound better than the 3 year old Christies they took out!  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 11-03-1999 07:05 PM                        Yes, I hate that grinding Christie sound. Add the knocking sound to that and it does not sound like an impressive machine. I wonder if I rubbed a little FilmGuard on some belts if they would stop grinding? I should try this with a set of older belts that I have laying around just to see what happens. If you put Panef on them, they stop grinding for a few weeks. But it always comes back.  |  IP: Logged Jim Ziegler Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 753 From: West Hollywood, CA Registered: Jul 99 posted 11-04-1999 03:44 AM                     Thouse of you who have found the Panef belt dressing, where did you find it? I have been unable ot localte it and wondered if any nationwide chains may be carrying it.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 11-04-1999 04:42 AM                     I got a bottle of Panef belt dressing from Bevan and Sean at Christie. I don't know if this is a regular stocked item or not. It does help, but by no means does it stop the shedding completely, so don't be expecting a miracle.  |  IP: Logged Jim Ziegler Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 753 From: West Hollywood, CA Registered: Jul 99 posted 11-04-1999 12:04 PM                     Sean put some on when he was here a while back, and it seemed to help. However, I have not been able to find the stuff anywhere. I guess I'll head out into the country to the farm supply stores and see if I can find it there. So far, all I have been able to find is stuff made from petrolium distillates..  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 11-04-1999 03:32 PM                        I found Panef belt dressing at Ace Hardware. Just follow football fat boy John Madden and he'll go there eventually, since Ace is one of the things he hawks. But I hear Ace is going out of business. Try the local hardware store.  |  IP: Logged
