I changed out the rollers that were meltimg and put fish tank tubing to replace them. The Projetor is running okay but was sliping down from the sound strip. And only when I would hold it up would the sound come for a second. Is it that the rollers in front of the sound pickups is not tight enough ? Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Laksmi...take a look at this thread...especially the last posting http://8mmforum.film-tech.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=5;t=000779;p=2

This is the fix for the sound problem I was having. I don't know if yours will be solved with this same adjustment. Here is a video I posted on YouTube describing the problem and the fix http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5FJlIcQc7s&list=UUzhVuBJou11ziWdERi0ZGuQ&index=11

Hey Janice thanks for the Info. I sent for the rollers from Larry. I think that will solve the problem. I hope but I will wait till I change them and try to ajust the things you talked about or pointed out .
