[Frameworks] eiki xenon sound question

[Todd Eacrett]

The sound drum should not move laterally at all. If it's moving in and out that much it's probably not a bent spindle or worn bushings. More likely when it was "fixed" someone left out a spacer or the compression spring that keeps it all tight (curved spring steel piece between the flywheel and bolt on the other end of the sound drum spindle -- or maybe they put it on backwards?).

You might be able to find a manual at film-tech.com.

I'm just working from memory, but can take a look tomorrow and confirm how the sound drum assembly should go together.

Cheers,

Hey folk,

  I was haphazardly trained on an Eiki ex 6120 (being only experienced with
smaller projectors). The sound on it was recently "fixed", and it's
probably the first time it's actually being used for optical in many a
moon. However, it has a number of issues, most notably a warble, and I'm
trying to narrow the exact issue. (And I can't seem to find a manual
online.)

  One thing I noticed is that the optical sound roller seems to roll
outwards as the film progresses; I uploaded images with the roller in and
out right here

 I presume this is the main issue, but let me presume ignorance here and
ask you folk. Is the fact that it moves "normal"?
