Went to Paul Foster's to collect this superb machine (thanks Paul) and an outstanding performer it really is. The stereo sound really must be heard to be believed! This example has had little use, and even came with the original sound test certificate!

QUESTION; the focus over the whole picture is very very slightly out on one side; when you re-focus that side, the other goes slightly out of focus! Not really a problem, but wondered if there was a "fix"?

Probably it should be possible to work on some of the screws which keep the film gate in position, or maybe you can insert some very thin pieces of metal until both frame sides are evenly distant from the the lens's rear element. Do you get this problem even when projecting at normal disatnces (say 4-5 meters at least from the screen)?

Could you send me a scan of the certificate? My email is: maurizio underscore at fastwebnet dot it

Thank you and good luck.

It's so slight, its probably just me; I'm a perfectionist! But thanks for the advice, and any more that may come from other users. Will try and sort the sount certificate picture; not sure what the point of them was really...maybe blinding the average user with science?!
