I'm hoping to create a live projector performance piece, but it requires the removal of the projector's shutter. I have an Elmo 16CL, and there is no mention of the shutter mechanism in the manual I have. Replacing the 3-blade for a 5-blade shutter is common enough, to enable telecinies, but I have been unable to find instuctions on how to do so. Can anyone shed some light on this procedure for me? Thanks -Matt

I bought a elmo 16-CL and it used to work great. The problem now is that the front arm mechanism is spinning faster than the sprockets, which work fine, and as a result the film is shooting out and falling to the floor. If I put pressure with my hand onto the front reel as it's projecting I can slow it down and the film will feed through at its proper speed. The back arm mechanism works fine. Any thoughts/suggestions?
