Depending on the age of the machines,meaning have they had a lot of use,if the problem isn't rectified by lubrication of the film,then it could be the metal guides either side of the back plate film path.One of them is spring loaded and the other fixed.In time these guides do get worn and grooves do appear in them and with various thicknesses of film, acetate and polyester,one might project better than the other reg. screen steadiness.There are two small screws to each plate,remove them,and unclip the spring on the other one.On examination you'll find liitle notches have been worn into the metal,these can be rubbed out either on a fine oil stone or some fine carbide paper known in the UK as " Wet and Dry". After they have been rubbed,give them a quick polish on a piece of cloth and re install them.You may have to adjust the outer plate until it just frames your picture and does'nt have the sprocket hole in frame.This should give a nice rock steady image.
