I need to find the part number for the drive gear to a super simplex projector head to match a PS24 RCA sound head. I would love to have a part manuel for the PS24 since one is not listed in the film tech library. I need the part number for the drive gear and shaft that goes into the projector head (super simplex).

anyone have a gear or parts manual?

This would probably fare better in FHF. Moving.

My memory of these is very dim, I had only two of them; Ely theatre, Ely Nev and later the RKO Golden Gate in SF. Most of my memories are of the seal of the motor leaking. The motor was attached to the soundhead casting directly and had no motor coupling as in the later 1040`s , also the motor rpms were in the 3000 neighborhood if I remember correctly. Dick Prather, I`ll bet, would have something on this

Bruce, I am still digging around for the drive gear, I have a copy of the PS-24 operating instructions wall card for you and am digging through my ALTEC and RCA service manuals for any other PS-24 info...bear with me! I ahve not forgotten you!!
