Re. Horizon 202 problems

["KATHRYN L. CLARK" <kathjeff@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have had the same blueish purple line about 1mm wide through the
entire length of film on a roll of transparancy film (Kodak EB-2), at
the bottom, just above the perforation.  The images are all in focus
throughout.  I just purchased the Horizon 202 new a few weeks ago.  I
cannot notice any scratches on the transparancy nor can I detect any
scratches on the negative film I shot.  I have not yet printed any of
these images yet.  Still waiting to get back machine prints.
     The 202 seems to be a great little pan camera except for this line
at the bottom of the film.  Its easy enough to crop out on a custom
print.  I guess it will be pretty obvious on the machine prints!
     I checked the drum very closely and may have found a spec of
something near the bottom, so I used the sticky side of scotch tape to
eliminate it.  I also cleaned the entire length of the slit.  Hope this
takes care of it.
