Hi Andrew, thank you for your kind welcome and reply. I too have heard that Eumig heads can wear out , but my gut feeling is that in this case they are ok. When i manually pull some film through I get a good frequency response although you can't actually make out anything because its not being pulled at a constant speed, it only seems to go muffled when back in the projector. I have looked at the mechanism that engages with the pressure pad when loading at that seems to retract the pressure pad correctly although it does sound as though the film isn't properly tracking over the head which makes me wonder if the azimuth adjustment is out. I am reluctant to adjust it because it is factory set. I have used servisol before and it works quite well for head cleaning, it is essentially a contact cleaner and is great for scratchy volume controls and headphone jacks, I have had a couple of cans for years , I don't know if you can still get it, but it has served me well. I may try some isopropyl alcohol as well just to be sure.
