Wayne's clue got it going. I cleaned the paths and still not working. In the dark I found the lamp was out. Then I found the lead that had popped off. Now synced but a BW pic is not good for posting with all of the sync bands.

I ran a BW cartridge over and over to loosen it up. Worst problem was the focus was drifting in and out. When I ran a color reel I got an image with color smears on the left side. Pic below. More running seemed to lessen the focus drifting.

Then I went to the mechanical focus just for fun and found it to help the color as the chroma channel stripes are now in better focus. The smears were residue of it not being in focus and not reading the information. Focusing by eyeball was not working. I found I could adjust to get rid of the smears. Switching between BW and color showed burst was kicking in. You have to work in the dark with the top off because room lights leak in to the photomultipliers.

The three films I got with it are all night-time dark and color is hard to see so on to adjustments. The important ones for video and chroma are hidden under a top plate that needs to have the side and bottom removed. 20+ screws or so. Another day and a bigger bench.
