Just got round to fitting the rubber drive wheels from Tom.They are a really tight fit and once on,sre there for life! Had no trouble in fitting,instructions read three times,a good mini tool kit to hane and they job was completed successfully in about an hour.
The only fiddle was the metal heat filter but I slung that anyway,only show moving pictures on my projector.Film is always out of the projector when stopped so for me,it was an innecessary chore to refit it.It wprks beautifully,nice and quiet too.I replaced the drive belts as well,gave it a grease up and it really has transformed the machine by this attention.
Well pleased.

Well done, Barry. I've just received mine as well but I don't know when I'll have some time to roll up my sleeves and get the little ST back on track (since I also received other spare parts from Doctor Jan)...
Oh well, I'll sleep when I'm dead.

Jean-Marc,
You only just recieved them [Eek!]

That post was bad, i'm glad you got them tho,
Barry, (& others) many thanks for that feed back, they are tight but that'll stop and prevent any loosening, again, i myself was pleased with the accuracy and qaulity and thanks to all who have purchased, a big "phew" for the long wait. [Wink]

Tom, we just went through a long holdiday weekend, so all mail has been delayed. Mail between France and the Uk is very slow, anyway.

As Tom has only eight sets left,I urgently say BUY THEM ! There will be no more and the difference it makes to the running of the projector is really outstanding.It will give you another ten years on the sell by date!!
