Replacing Projection Lamp
and Cleaning Lens
WARNING:
High-wattage projection lamps
get very hot in use. Be sure to allow ample
time for cooling before you handle them.
Cooling can be accelerated by turning off
the lamp switch and leaving the fan switch
on after you have moved the master con­
trol lever to OFF. When the bulb has
cooled sufficiently, turn off the fan switch
and disconnect the power cord before re­
moving the lamphouse cover.
Loosen the lamphouse cover screw
(Figure 11), and lift off the cover.
Remove the

wise to release the upper lip of the
lamp refl e ctor, grasp the white ceram­
ic insulator, and lift the
away from the lamp mount.
To insert the new lamp, reverse the
procedure given above, being careful
to fit the lower lip of the lamp reflec­
tor inside the two lamp
for proper positioning of the

Caution: Use extreme care when handling
the new lamp. Neither the quartz arc tube
nor the interior reflector coating should
be touched. Fingerprints or other deposits
can cause shortened life, premature reduc­
tion in light output, or uneven illumination.
The lamp mount controls the posi­
tioning of the lamp and is adjusted at
the factory for maximum evenness of
illumination. Readjustment should
not be necessary. However, if adjust­
ment appears to be needed, loosen the

cleaned at frequent intervals. Because
of the rapid stop-and-go motion of the
film, particles of the emulsion lubri­
cant are eventually rubbed off the
edges of the fi l m and lodged on the
gate; this can damage fi l m.
Use care in removing or replacing
the gate; force is not necessary.
To avoid the possibility of scratch­
ing the gate, the pulldown claw should
be retracted before the gate is re­
moved. Retract the claw by turning
the trial thread knob until the white
line is toward you. Remove the projec­
tion lens.
Open the gate and insert a clean
or piece of paper to protect the

withdraw the gate.
Use a soft, damp, lintless cloth to
clean the gate. If necessary, wrap the
cloth around a toothpick or match
stick to clean the fi l m track.
