Anyone have any idea as to the cause of excessive hum on a sound track, I do use Filmguard and do use it liberally but do clean some of it off, could that be a cause, does the film need drying off more or is it just a stripe problem. Ran my Dracula reel 1 through the Bauer last night and there was a loud hum which I could counter by increasing the tone control but then that made the sound very tinny, any idea's????

It could be that the capacitors on the amplifier are done for.
In the bauer they are on the left bottom side 2 big ones and 2 or 1 small one

Hi Thijs, it only does it on this reel, I tried one of the ads reels after and it was fine, plus Bill's only just serviced it so it's good to go in all departments

How is it recorded Del? Main and balance or just main stripe only etc etc?

Also Del, how does this same film sound on any of your other machines?

Any feedback on this Del (if you pardon the pun lol) ???

Sent you a PM Andrew :-)

Thanks Del.glad it's worked out for you now. 😊
