Kodak KODASCOPE EIGHT 70 - img013

occasionally. It should be cleaned at intervals depending upon its use.
Before
projecting any film, especially Kodachrome, be sure the GATE
is clean.
Because of
the constant friction of the film, particles of the coating or
emulsion are rubbed off the edges of the film and lodge on the gate.
This deposit of emu lsion, if allowed to remain, interferes with the
smoothness with which the film runs through the gate.
Open the GATE by pressing forward on the catch; then turn the
THREADING KNOB until the pull-down claws are withdrawn. The track of
th·e GATE must be cleaned with a damp, lintless cloth wrapped on a
toothpick or match . Remove the LENS by pushing the pin down as far
as it will go and then drawing it forward. With a damp cloth wrapped
on a stick, reach through the LENS HOLDER to clean the edges of the
aperture. To give the GATE an over-all cleaning, slide a sli ghtly mois-
tened,
clean cloth up and down in the GATE a few times to remove all
remaining particles of dust or dirt. 11
