Found it here:
I sticked an alcohol soaked tissue rolled around a toothpick and put it in there, just where the red arrow points, while rolling a film.
You can easily feel it touching the prisma al so slightly and I also rewinded the film in the gate, so I could move the prisma picture for picture and clean it that way.
After that I cleaned al the mirrors with the lens-alcohol soaked tissue and the focus lens on the front.
Results,...
It's amazing.
The picture is steady, bright and very sharp.
You guy's are amazingly helpfull, thanks.
I can buy another one for €50 that has the record buttons and origenal grey audio buttons which are black on mine.
That one had the same problem, but now I know how to fix it,...
Maybe I'll put one of them for auxion on ebay.
Not sure how much it's worth after cleaning the beauty, but even for using it as a electrical 1200" rewinder it is great.

The front optical block where it is contained the prism can be removed even without opening the editor behind, but in your case it is useless, you have already cleaned well, getting to the important points. I have never found so many improvements with cleaning of prism and other piece, perhaps because my editor has always been clean.
As for the audio, you should be able to select one track at a time or both together, but the reasons why you do not hear either one can be many. You can also try cleaning the magnetic heads with the same method you used for the part of the image.
On the other hand, I don't recommend, for those who are not practical (me too!), to pick up heads from another similar editor: then heads should be recalibrated, and it is a work that is not said to be victorious.
The buttons, instead, are not a problem. I looked for the old ones of my "cannibalized" editor, but I did not find them, it has all the front part removed. However, performance does not improve (comfort apart): absent, blacks or grays. ![[Smile]](smile.gif) Actually, since you have black ones, you have the advantage of having to find only one belt of right measure and to be able to use the "contemporary sound" option, provided you have both tracks at work.
