What kind of projector?  |  IP: Logged David Deserranno Film Handler Posts: 2 From: Windsor / Ontario / Canada Registered: Apr 2011 posted 05-06-2011 07:42 PM                     it is a century projector  |  IP: Logged Tony Bandiera Jr Film God Posts: 3067 From: Moreland Idaho Registered: Apr 2004 posted 05-09-2011 12:00 AM                     David, check your film trap alignment. If the rails are too close together you will have issues at the splices. Also make sure the shoe assembly on the intermittent is not loose and is closing properly. You can get instructions to adjusting it and the trap rails in the manuals available on this site. But I strongly urge you to have a tech in to look at it if you are not 110% confident you know how to make those adjustments.  |  IP: Logged
