Hey All,

For the most part I have a nice working Pageant. It is a little finicky when it comes to splices, and sometimes wants to loose the loop. Any suggestions on something that may need to be tightened, or loosened. I have been lucky so far that I haven't lost any sprockets. but it is a hassel to stop and fix the problem.

I found on my Pageant that some of the time it seems as if it were my bad splices causing the problems. Also, if I had an older print with a cement splice, right at the splice the film shrinks I guess from the glue, and causes major problems.
