One of my theaters has a Simplex PR1014 projector with a SH1012-T2 soundhead. The drive gear assembly has self-destructed (i.e. gear, bearings, shaft, bracket). The only manuals and parts lists that I have list two different "drive kits" one for RCA soundheads and one for Simplex SH1000, SH1020, and SH1050
(part #'s G-2086 and G-2068 in case anyone cares) It appears to be the correct gear/bracket, but I'm not sure. Is the Simplex "drive kit (G-2086)" the correct one for the SH1012-T2? Or is there a different gear for the SH1012-T2?
Thanks
Jonathan

There is only one Simplex gear for the drive assy for all Simplex soundheads. Its best to get it form Strong as they seem to run quieter. I don't believe the RCA gear will even fit in there. For reliablilitys sake, be sure to replace the bearings and shaft while you're at it.

Thanks Mark I thought that was the case but I wasn't 100% positive

Actually, the RCA gear will indeed fit...but it will whine inceasently! I agree on getting the gear from Strong.Steve
