I have recently got a Specto-Royal type 204 standard 8mm projector which runs well except I can't see how to alter the picture frame to get rid of the frame line on screen,can anyone help?
Cheers,
Clinton

Problem solved thanks to Martin ( a member of this forum) and it was easy. I have posted the answer here to help future people (as it was a fairly hidden feature without the instruction manual!)
"When you look at the machine you will see that the vertical hinge of the gate (where it opens to clean it) is actually a vertical "ribbed" plastic assembly. When the gate is closed an the picture is on the screen, if you "roll" this with your finger about its shaft the gate assembly will move up or down. The effect on the screen is to move the frame line up or down."
Thanks heaps Martin.
