Janice, If you are not running notched titles I would recommend disabling the notched film device.This makes threading much easier when you dont have to contend with the sideways push of the notch sensor as you are trying to load the film in the gate, and it helps reduce sprocket hole jumping when you are running the film. To disable the notch sensor, without in any way doing anything to the projector, just put an elastic rubber band around the notch sensor lever(OUTSIDE the machine below the gate aperture) and wrap the other end of the elastic band all the way around the left side of the machine and around the lens snout at the front. Done properly, this will pull the notch lever to the left, in an OUT position. On the rare occasion that you might run notched titles, you can just remove the elastic band. Another thing you may have to do is to adjust the tension on the take up by rotating the knurled knob clutch on the take up pulley. Increase or decrease take up tension until the film take up brake arm ocillates happily up and down, and the projected picture is steady.
