I am in the process of moving house, and have only just been able to test my Bell and Howell filmosonic DCR sound projector, bought and paid on the 6th, recieved on the 10th. It seems to be putting very faint lines in films, only two camera-originals was run through this one (test footage), and scratching is only visible on the far right side of the image and only in clear sections of the film, but get deeper as it is played more. All camera original reversals i usually use my prinz magnon projector. I do not want to run any prints or any more camera-originals. I paid £150 for this projector just under a month ago and am not too happy... There is also alot of rust on the inside metal casing, and on the shutter and gate. This one has mono sound but seems nice in every other way, apart from this little problem!
45 days have not elapsed since buying it on ebay, should I ask to return this for a full refund?
I cannot buy another one until I have moved house though, i bought this projector just before me having to move came up!
