cam—and the in-and-out cam drives the spindles—the
projector won't transport film. Although you can't obtain a
new shutter, you can purchase a rebuilt shutter from Fargo
Enterprises, Inc. The rebuilt shutters have new Delrin gears.
But not all shutters can be rebuilt. The projector may have
either the early style or the late-style shutter, Fig. D56. The
early style shutter can't be rebuilt. However, you can install a
rebuilt shutter in a projector that has the early style shutter.
If you have the late-style shutter, send it to Fargo Enter-
prises, Inc. as an exchange for the rebuilt shutter. Sending in
your old shutter will save you money on the rebuilt shutter.
The shutters come in either of two sizes according to the
diameter of the center hole. Here's where you need the
caliper to determine which shutter you need.
Measure the diameter of the shutter-drive shaft, Fig. D55.
You should measure either 0.187" or 0.185". As you can see,
there's only 0.002" difference between the two sizes. Unless
you have a digital caliper, it's difficult to read to such high
resolution.
You now have all the information you need—the diameter of
the shutter-drive shaft and the number of blades on the
shutter. Fig. D56 shows double-blade
shutters; a single-blade shutter has just one
blade. Order the replacement shutter by one of
the following part numbers:
198395 double-blade, 0.187"
178642 double-blade, 0.185"
198574 single-blade, 0.187"
178641 single-blade, 0.185"
Also note the disk with two flat springs at the
front of the shutter, Fig. D57. The springs are
for reducing chatter. Kodak has never
provided the spring unit as a replacement
part—the spring unit was only provided as
