Hello, this really isn't a major problem but the motor drive wheel on some of the platters I have leaves a lot of sticky residue behind. I've cleaned all of the platter disks and replaced the drive motor wheel and within a week I have the same problem. I am using a Christie autowind M3 and a Christie P35GPS projector. Any tips on different cleaning materials or suggestions would be great.

Thanks

Whose platter drive wheels are you using? Typically this happens to only some batches of the Christie drive wheels. I suggest that you get your drive wheels from Wolk... they have not exhibited that problem.

thanks for the help; I think we will be switching from Christie to Wolk.
