I have two Cinemececcanica Victoria 5 projectors behind the Turret Latch Plate on one there is one Black Spacer and one Copper colour spacer, the other projector has two of the black colour spacers, when the turret is closed it can still be pulled open without opening the latch as the latch does not go fully behind the plate, if I adjust the screw that moves the turret so the latch fits correctly behind the plate the focus is then out of alignment, does anyone know how many of these spacers are normally fitted fitted.

There is a set screw on the back of the turret that sets the depth of the closed position
