Thank you. Just want to add that all 27 images were taken with the same setting. The movie has a wide range of lighting conditions from outdoor, low sun angles too low light indoor scenes.

I usually clean flybacks (from our european b&w sets) with WD40 to protect them from moisture and soften dried out isolations. Take care if there are carbon track pots and don't use WD40 in this case.

I would be really afraid of using something as explosive as WD40 near anything high voltage or capable of arcing.

WD40 isn't explosive as an applied coating...heck it won't even explode if you shoot the spray through the flame of a lighter as I have done... It'll just burn energetically and give you a nice flame thrower for toasting jumping spiders.

Wet WD40 isnt that easy to light either. Many years ago I was trying to fix a 30s fan that I eventually found had a bad contact brush and it was arcing like crazy but not easy to keep enough WD40 on the rotor to sustain burn for more than a couple seconds.

Don't they relate to the posts leading up to post 39?
