Author Topic: AW3 Washer Around Axle On Platter? Louis Bornwasser Film God Posts: 4441 From: prospect ky usa Registered: Mar 2005 posted 01-02-2006 08:02 PM                        One of the N.C.S. techs makes a repair system for AW3 bad bushings. As I understand it, this is about 12 inches in diameter with weldments in the center that true-up the existing bushings. Try Bud Shepard in Mass or the main NCS office in Louisiana. This is National Cinema Service, not Supply.

I am looking into the kit mentioned above. Hopefully this can be fixed. I am also going to get some exact measurements of the busings and see if anyone has something of similar size and thickness. Thanks again, Cody  |  IP: Logged Joshua Waaland Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 800 From: Cleveland, Ohio Registered: Dec 1999 posted 01-06-2006 07:00 AM                     Cody, The platters decks have two (bronze I believe) bushings inside. They are probably pressed in for a friction fit. You may be able to have someone replace them but it may be hard to do without damaging the deck. Also the decks are too big to go into a hydraulic press. If I were you I would try to locate a used deck. Good luck.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 01-06-2006 10:25 AM                     You can also check on a "scratch 'n dent" deck from Christie. Occasionally something happens at the factory and they will end up with a few decks that will work perfectly, but have some marks on it that they will sell at a low cost.  |  IP: Logged
