[Frameworks] Eiki SL-0 Maintenance Questions

[Matt Shaw]

I'm about to have my EIKI SSL-0 back from Dwight at the Boston Connection for many of the same issues. I had tinkered with fixing the issues on my own, but they persisted, after purchasing the projector from someone who had it in a closet for 30 years.

It was nice to invest in the tune-up, even if it meant a delay in processing some film/buying more film stock.
