Thank you again, Phil and Andrew, for your precious inputs. I also feared the vibe could put unnecessary strain on the shaft bearings.
Fact is my unit came with a 2-year warranty, one of the screws of the back cover is covered by a sticker which, if broken, will make such warranty void.
So there's no way for me to have a direct look at the innards of the beast, for the time being; so I'll leave it in 3-blade mode and I should have no problems.
I also see your point, Andrew, regarding acoustic feedback etc. In this respect a socket for headphones would have come in handy; I do not know if it's possible to link a headphone to the DIN socket; it's certainly possible to put a mixer in between with a headphone jack and use it for monitoring. A breeze today, maybe not so pleasant at the time this projector was introduced, especially due to the cost: after all higher-end Bauer's and Eumig's have headphone jacks... Just my opinion, though and certainly a minor design flaw which does not lessen the unique features of this machine.
