Film Gate Opening And Closing - Eiki ESL SERIES Service Manual

Note ( 1) The arm tip should not be seated too far beyond the curved point on the plate spring at
"STOP" as Fig.
# 79.
In the event of the incorrect position as Fig.#79\thefollowing troubles may be expected;
(1) When the function switch is slowly turned.from "MIC" to "STOP", the arm tip will
not stop at the position as Fig. #75 and slip over to the position as Fig. #76 which
means the upper loop forming guide roller is at its top position as Fig. #70.
Consequently,
(2) The upper loop is not formed correctly.
(3) In "Rewind" the film may be in contact with the parts in the film path.
(4) The upper loop forming guide roller exceeds over the top of the lens holder cover
and the film may not be loaded smoothly.
Note (2) The arm tip should not be positioned below the curved point on the plate spring as
Fig. #80.
In the event of the incorrect position as Fig. #80 the following troubles may be ex-
pected;
(1) The arm tip will not slide on the plate spring to the position as Fig. #76 which
means the upper loop forming guide roller does not move to its top position as Fig.#70.
(2) The upper loop is not formed correctly.
(3) The activation of the film guard switch will delay resulting in the switch not activat-
ing with the six frames consecutive film damage.
Note (3) The proper clearance between the film guard arm and the film guard switch shoulder is
required. If being too close or with no clearance, the arm tip may stick fast and will not
rotate resulting in the switch not activating. To adjust, re-mount the switch swinging
clockwise so that the maximum clearance is obtained as Fig. #81.
