Ok, I hope this question is not as stupid as I think I am going to feel once I find out the answer. [Smile]

We have Christie M35GPS projectors, and our parts manual is P35GPS. What is the difference between the two models, does anyone know? I am having great difficulty finding a parts number for the spring that gives tension to the lateral guide that closes over the sprockets. Obviously, when looking at our manual, the system is not the same. Does anyone know where I can find a parts manual for the M35GPS? Or possibly know that parts number?
Thanks!
Linda

Christie P35/M35 manual

Scroll down to "Appendix C" for the M35 addendum and parts list.
The omega spring you are referring to isn't pictured, but there is a "Spring Compr, Flat Wire" part listed in the parts list.

Give Jim Graton a call @ Christie and make sure this is the correct part.

Thanks so much! [Smile]

Now I am frustrated that I spent so much time looking when all I had to do was ask! [Smile]

Isn't that a "Man" trait? haha
