I've got the exact setup here at the house and my douser control rod is not shaped anything like the picture you are showing. These take one bend toward the non operating side and then straight down. No problems.  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA.

Wolk has "zipper" parts available new (new old stock?). I agree that Kelmar changeovers are better, but not by enough to justify replacing the entire thing when all you need is a small part. I guess it doesn't matter at this point...I'm just curious.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 05-18-2003 09:06 PM                        I didn't order a new changeover. I was (essentially) offered one (or three) because one of my units wasn't working properly and I said "sure". I actually like the Simplex changeovers better than the Kelmars simply because there is a place to put the Film-Tech rewinder core for the media cleaners (on the tightening screw)!  |  IP: Logged German Marin Expert Film Handler Posts: 227 From: Verbania (VB), Italy Registered: Jul 2001 posted 05-26-2003 08:53 PM                     Hi Scott Manley, While Christie's douser were working into the projector they begun to fail. Sometimes they close without a reason but the real reason is the douser has bad quality, the screw with the little ball loss properties and the calibration is terrific. My explanation of how to modified christie's douser is HEREand Then HERE Thanks  |  IP: Logged
