Started thus recently Elmo fp-c when run forward makes a constant squeaking noise like something is rubbing up against something. Funny part is when I run it in reverse I dont hear any noise. Could the claws be rubbing up against somthing. When adjust framer the sound changes. I know its not the spindles because I hear the noise when I took off the belt. Any help would be great
By the way films play fine on this

Thanks
Brian

Have you isolated the sound to the gate area? If you could shoot a video with sound...that might be helpful.

Hopefully fixed, I used a q tip and greased the golden hub that attached to the claw. Works great
