[Spridgets] Miss that is killing me

[MICHAEL CARPENTER]

Hi Gang,

David had it right.  It had to do with the shutter of the XR700 and now that 
I corrected it, it is running fine!  The shutter was actually not centered 
on the shaft and was going through an oblong ort of pattern.

Thanks everyone for all of the excellent help and ideas.

Cheers,

Mike
