Author Topic: oiling Procedures Jonathan Haglund Film Handler Posts: 81 From: Irvine, CA, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 08-01-2001 03:23 PM                        I love bringing up old topics... The super lube website is down, and so is the CFS rentec site for that matter (different thought entirely). Is there a diagram somwhere that can educate me as to what in the projector is the "movement," and what "brushings" are? I have a pretty good idea what the drive gear on the vertical shaft is, but I would still like to know for sure. All of this is will apply to Century SA and JJ projectors. The SA is screaming like a bat out of hell and I just dont know where to lubricate.  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-01-2001 04:23 PM                     Most SA's the only oiling point is the movement itself (it is an oil cup on the operating side on the outboard bearing support arm) the rest are oiltight bushings on the sprocket shafts If it is squeelng most likely you will feel a bearing being very hot when you shut it down and that is the bearing(s) that you need to change asap  |  IP: Logged Aaron Sisemore Flaming Ribs beat Reeses Peanut Butter Cups any day!

A common cause of the chirping sound is a dry drive belt idler wheel shaft. Remove it and put a little gear grease on it to quiet it up. Or get a replacement idler with ball bearings and never have to worry about that noise again. Gord's right if it is a continuous whining screech its likely dead bearings, usually in the soundhead (the mainshaft bearings usually cause knocking when they go rather than a screech) Aaron  |  IP: Logged
