If you're having to do this, it's time to lube the autoshredding linkages! The pull of the take-up reel should pop it out, but if it's not, it's time for a clean and lube! --scott ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks

That projector could be a 1694, 1695, 1698, 2685, 2692, or 2698, but they all use the same body casting. If you pull the front cover off, you should be able to watch the autoshredding mechanism work and see that the loops are being properly formed. Make sure both sprockets are turning and that the notches on the sprockets are in the same positions. Make sure the gate is immaculately clean. The autoshredders are very touchy about leader... you will need a heavy leader with the front of it curved properly; follow the directions in the manual. And unlike the older 500-series autoshredders, you cannot convert them back to manual thread. Now... SOME Of these machines, I and I think they are just the 1694, have a wick oiling system for the cam on those machines you really should not turn one on without making sure the wick is saturated with light machine oil. If you are in the US, Optech in Boston does routine maintenance on these projectors and will keep them in good condition. --scott ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks

When you load this projector and the film comes out the back, you give it a slight tug before threading the take-up reel. This should disengage the loop formers and project normally. If the loop button is already depressed then the projector is in load mode and the loop formers are closed. But they will open if you pull slightly on the last roller before the take-up reel. I hope this helps. Pip At 13:12 +0200 13/10/15, franco base wrote: Hi all, I buy this projector, but when I try to project the image is really bad as if the film loses the loop.
