Roger, did you find out what the antenna is used for? That's the first time I seen something like this! It has to serve a purpose! Let me know when you find out ! Leon.

Does the antenna wiring stop at the two soldered connections on the small board???

I’ve got it! It transmits to a Platter On A Plank while wearing tin foil on the projectionist head. [set5_b/set5_b/troll.gif] whistling dixie speeds up the process. [set5_b/set5_b/iamwithstupid.gif]

Hi Dan. On the rear of these projectors there is a switch that is for playback of stereo or magnetic sound. On this one it not only has stereo and magnetic but also one marked FM 78MHz with an indicator light that illuminates when switch is placed at that setting. What that is for I have no idea.

Roger, maybe its part radio? Take the switch to FM. Turn up the volume and see what happens? Reply! Leon.

Something has happened and I don't have any sound. The shoes on the sound head is not going down touching the film. Even when the shoes are held down and make contact there is no sound. You can hear volume change in the speakers using the controls. I don't see any movement on the uv meters though.
