I could have a major problem with my EUMIG MARK S (mag/optic) super 8 projector ....
I don't know what the technical name is for this part, but it's the brass piece (or copper, I'm not sure) on my model of projector, that gives you the square image on the screen, without it, you have just lots of light no nice square image.
Anyhow, it's comne loose, evidently, the glue that held it on has expired. It's peeling off, and I believe that the slight but noticaable scratching on one of my optical super 8's is due to that. before now, it had never scratched at all!
This projector has absolutely awesome optical sound and I'd hate to part with it due to an annoying scratch problem.
HELP!!!!!!

Thanks Kevin. Yeah, I only show my actual address when I can't get ahold of someone otherwise. That reminds me, I need to change my address on the forum, as I have moved, (you have the new address Kevin!)
Also sad to hear that his machine is scratching bad on the magnetic sound. I don't use the magnetic sound on my Eumig, as I have a stereo super 8mm that's to die for.
I was really lucky when I bought my Eumig, as the seller was a true collector and have a whole replacement sound head assembly for my Eumig, (which is easily replaceable)!
I am doubly sure that it is that film gate part that is doing the scratching, as I put on a print I don't care about and while it wouldn't scratch going forward, it must have been slightly catching on that "film gate apeture" (there, that's my technical name) as it ran backwards. That Eumig has such beautiful optical sound I will retool it like a man possessed with his 65 Ford pick-up truck, (any american man will understand THAT analogy!)
