I have has this problem with this optical sound projector for a little while. It has excellent loud booming optical sound, but it will get a wobble or serious vibration to the sound. Can anyone help me with this?

I thank you for your time.

Hi Osi, during my attempt to fix the optical sound lens of my projector some days ago, in which i eventually succeeded, i realised that some positions resulted in this distortion you're describing, so yours might need some adjustment too.

Try cleaning the capstan & pinch roller with Isopropyl or audio head cleaner. It may simply be the thinner optical film is not getting traction.
To do this pull off the three knobs (volume etc) from the front and un screw the front cover retaining screw. The front panel then slides to the right and off. You can then get at the rubber pinch roller and capstan. Use a cotton bud on the capstan, and lint free cloth on rubber roller. Its also a good time to clean up the front also.
Good luck..
