Hi,

I have a problem with a RCA FR-35B. This is a 35mm electronic "intermittent" telecine/Rock n'roll projector.

The intermittent seems to be running at low speed when the projector is in "READY" but isn't yet in "FWD" or "REV".

Has anyone else come across this problem? Do you know of a solution?

Thanks From,
Henry.

First disconnect the regestration circuit to split that from the puull down circuit and see if the problem goes away. I think its either a switch or suitcase jumper. I;ve seen this problem cause dby just the pull down circuit being out of adjustment. Its like a 0 setting and it can drift. Its just been so long I can't remember if that adjustment is in the pull down circuit or the pull down amplifier.

Glad you got it working. The B model is a really good projector!! What did you find wrong? Was it just an alignment problem?
