a. Preliminary Procedures
Notes
If a stereo solar cell is already installed on Projector No. 1, inspect the surface of the cell for cracks, chipping, or other damage. If the cell appears to require replacement, remove the mounting bracket from the projector and replace the cell and mounting block assembly. If the cell appears to be usable, either loosen the cell mounting bracket and swing the cell out of the light path or, if this cannot be done, remove the mounting bracket and cell mounting block assembly from the projector and set aside.
Clean the lens surfaces with a cotton swab moistened with lens cleaner. But keep in mind that you may find in Step 14 under “b. Optical Preamplifier Adjustment” that it will be necessary to remove and inspect the lens if the
If the lens is removed, clean the lens as indicated above and look through the lens at a bright light. Repeated alternate heating and cooling of the lens can cause oil or other contaminants to enter the lens barrel. Verify that there is a clear, unobstructed light path through the lens and that the edges of the slit are sharp without cracks or corrosion. Fit a new lens assembly if you are unable to clear the optical path through the slit.
Inspect the lateral film guides for evidence of cuts, cracks, surface defects, and any foreign materials that could impair the film guiding. Clean as required or replace the guides, as necessary. Make sure the guide roller rotates freely and, if it is spring mounted, make sure that lateral movement and return is not obstructed. If the roller has a felt or rubber insert, check for a flat spot, replace the roller if need be.
