I have finally, after what feels like 10 years (prob 10 years since acquiring this machine) but is actually 5 years of storage battles, makeshift repairs, huge learning curves (electrics, relays, soldering, circuits, mechanics and optics) got to the point where this Oxberry-Neilson\/Hordell bastard printer is working enough<\/em>  to make tests to ascertain what still isn’t working. I know for a fact for instance that when you rail the lens\/camera back on the geared bed, the image shifts DOWN! and this tells us that the whole optical axis is misaligned.<\/p>\n

Still a minor victory for me personally has been to; complete the basic functions of the projector head and its link with the camera; fix the camera motor and shutter mech; design a solution to the relay lens mount and open out the electrics\/electronics enough to make way for modernisations like programme control etc (this will be next).<\/p>\n
