Before, Stray light would hit the white tiles and reflect down into the auditorium 
With the help of a 4x4 plastic electrical box, I carved out the notch to place it over the vent and plate motor.
Have you had an operator thread to the bottom platter of a Christie AW3, set it lower than the set pin, and cause long black platter scratches. (Brad mentions this problem in a document in the Tips Section) I placed a 1" hose clamp at the base where the roller mechanism is in the proper position.
If the operator tries to place it too low, hopefully, the operator will notice that the mechanism IS obviously in the wrong position and they will fix it.

Wow...something useful made with a plastic junction box. I mean I sure wouldn't wire my house with them.

Well done! But the best modification would be to make it an all gear driven machine. Are you working on that?
