Author Topic: "Bump" On Christie Platter Dave Cutler Master Film Handler Posts: 277 From: Centennial, CO Registered: Jun 2000 posted 10-04-2000 06:44 PM                     OK, I am just asking here, because I don't know if this is a good idea or not. Didn't Brad mention something about putting a DTS disc reel in the center ring of an AW3 during breakdown to prevent it from collapsing a bit. If you did this for buildup, seems to me it would help (not cure) a 'camel hump.' It would cause a significantly large hump if the center ring was actually collapsing while putting a print on a platter. Good idea or bad? Anyone, anyone?  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 10-05-2000 02:56 AM                     I see no problems with the idea at all, however the trick here is just to let the machine work as it was designed and NOT hand-hold backtension on the supply reel.  |  IP: Logged Sean McKinnon Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1712 From: Peabody Massachusetts Registered: Sep 2000 posted 10-05-2000 10:39 PM                        wanted to try the DTS disc holder thing but it did not work! It was Waaay too big for the ring!  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 10-06-2000 05:37 AM                     Sean, Insert the jewel case before you takeup the last show. A large eraser works well if you have stationary brains.  |  IP: Logged
