Author Topic: Simplex E7 Not Handling Splices Well and Lubrication Question Paul G. Thompson The Weenie Man Posts: 4718 From: Mount Vernon WA USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 04-15-2003 08:05 PM                     Josh just took the damned thing off and stuffed a MNR4-22 roller and shaft in its place. A major adjustment was necessary to get it 2 film thicknesses away from the sprocket, though. It looked like something you would see in a Super Simplex.  |  IP: Logged Dick Prather Master Film Handler Posts: 259 From: Portland, OR, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 04-16-2003 03:09 AM                     I have seen the roller replacement before on E-7's. The roller set up machine might have a slight side sway in the picture as the upper sprocket shoe acted as a fixed guide for the film into the film trap. I recommend using the shoe if at all possible. You should be able to find a used E-7 for less then a new shoe or someone out there may have some good used ones.  |  IP: Logged
