Default Re: Bell and Howell TQII 1652 16mm projector

I wonder whether there is a difference in the formulation of the potting compound and any resins that might be used in the construction of individual components. It would be a pity if it successfully removed the compound but also attacked the component encapsulation, or even erased any markings.

a separately driven take up would probably cause havoc if it went wrong?
Havoc is when an unsupervised tower stops taking up at the beginning of a feature, without tripping any guard switches. The show proceeds as normal but the projector dumps the whole movie, up to two miles of film, in a heap on the box floor.
