What do you all do with sprocket damage?...Do you cut it out of your films or do you try to repair it? I have repaired some but I just use normal tape splices and cut it down to just fit over the holes and then apply it to both sides. This is really time consuming and it uses up my splicing tape pretty fast. Bill

I just put press tapes over the bad sprockets. Very slow. If its really bad I have cut it out. |

Use a Cinebug or Perfix machine. |

I use a Per-fix machine. It is very fast and works smooth. They're hard to find though.

Thanks for the picture. I was looking around for one after Ken mentioned it and I couldn't find anything. I am going to have to keep my eyes open for one. Bill

I am borrowing a 16mm print of THE OMEN off of a friend. Looking at the side I could see what appeared to be some sprocket damage repair. I didn't check the film on my rewinds before viewing.....mistake. I was watching the first reel and about 3/4 of the way into it the projector started making funky sounds and the picture was chattering around and I stopped it but not before white mucky goo was all in the first sprocket and gate.....ahhhhhh!  I got the film removed and removed the 25' section so I could clean it up. It was already book-ended with splices so no harm done. The "repair" was like sticky glue (first picture). I used Filmguard to remove the sticky residue off (second picture) and it seemed to be smooth but it appears to be getting sticky again on the top side (third picture). What kind of repair is this and why is it sticky.......and can something be done to remedy this? Any advise would be appreciated. The good news is I gave the projector the once over so it's much cleaner than it was last night before I started! Bill

I've got a film with the same problem, but mine is all white. The film is The Quiet Man so it has to be fixed somehow. |
