You can turn the inching knob. There should be a silver knob on the front of the picture head. It should be just behind the lens mount. This knob is actually attached to the shutter shaft.

By the way...The name plate on that Westar in my photo says that the model is SA. I will post a more complete pic of it soon.

Now I have a question: In the interest of avoiding confusion, what should I call my projectors? If they are really Century's should I continue calling them Westars? After all, that is what's printed on the ID plate. I'm trying to avoid using the term "Century" as a generic. Xerox, Aspirin and Band-Aid hate this practice of using a brand-name as a common noun. But I'm also trying to be correct. If -- when all is said and done -- it is revealed to be genuine Century equipment then that's what it should be called, don't you think?

how much light

Plenty. We never measured it, & when we saw it we knew we didn't need to. With an ORC XM-4200 bulb it was bright & sharp with little fall off at the corners on flat 23' high & scope 40' wide. One of the best pictures I'd seen. You could sometimes see the arc dance, though, but that was only if there was little picture but clouds, etc.
Great light, great pictures, & I'm way too picky.

The lamphouse was put together with parts from two that were provided, we had no alignment kit & my friend Ed did the initial alignment via his excellent eyeball alone. With an Align-O-Tron we probably would have been showing movies in the park behind the theater. It seems in this lamphouse there were some threads stripped in an adjustment base which made alignment a little annoying & time consuming. Those adjustment pieces down there were soft aluminum gears & worms & one piece of nylon, as I recall. They were damaged in both of the units we had to work from.

Creeped me out due to flaky damaged bulb adjustment, never failed, but sometimes would bzzt twice on strike just to mess with me. Old equipment tends to accumulate individualized collections of characteristics to justify calling it a personality.
