Hi All. Recently my Sankyo Sound-501 has been running a touch too fast when set to 24fps, resulting in some higher than usual pitch sound.

I know that I can adjust the speed by using an insulated screwdriver with the correct sound pot, but I can not for the life of me work out where that is! A friendly chap on Facebook provided me with a diagram from a guide he had, but I can't figure out how this corresponds with the inside of my machine.

Can anybody offer any advice, or better still a photo?

This thread should help you locate the pots.

You quickly changed projectors. [Big Grin]

It worried me when you described the Sankyo Sound 800 as mono.

Janice,

Andrew originally wrote that the projector was a Sankyo 800. He later corrected the post.
