Anyone have a service manual for the B&H 10MS projector? I need to make some adjustments to my "frame" control and would like to know what to look for before I break something.
What happens is that I cannot get the image properly framed for projection. I always have a bit of the bottom showing on top even when the control is at the end of it's travel.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
John

I have never seen a service manual for the B&H 10MS.

Good luck

This is what the framer adjuster looks like from the inside the back of the projector. When you turn the knob it moves the bar.

On my 10MS if I move the framer knob too far to the left it also moves the claw and will not feed the film properly. My guess is that you have to be careful how far you move the bar.

Try this it works for me...I turn the framer knob as far to the right as I can. Then thread the film...then adjust the framing by turning the framer knob to the left.

Janice,
Tried that from both ends of travel and have the same result. Plus it is very noisy when at the travel extremes and quiets down around halfway. Unfortunately, when it does quiet down, the frame is divided at midscreen. I suspect something may have "jumped timing" and is a tooth or so off while threading or advancing the film. I guess I'll just have to open it up again and see if the frame adjust is binding on anything.

I just checked inside the projector and everything seems to move freely without binding. The condition appears worse in 8MM than in Super 8 mode. Is there a way to "center" the 8MM/Super8 mask?

Thanks.
