Author Topic: TA-10 shutting down early Paul G. Thompson The Weenie Man Posts: 4718 From: Mount Vernon WA USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 07-12-2002 04:51 PM                     Seems to me that if the machine shut down on film motion fault, the alarm would have sounded. Just keep an eye on it. That's what I hate about electronic devices. When you think the propbem is nailed, something will happen to blow the theory right out the booth window.  |  IP: Logged Ken McFall Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 615 From: Haringey, London.

As for the angle of film coming off the roller. I agree and in any install I do the film comes off the roller and then BACK towards the lamphouse and then forwards onto the diversion roller to the platter. That way there is NO chance of film curl/buckle causing any problems.  |  IP: Logged
