I have a problem (several actually, but only one at the moment in
stereo).  I just got back a roll of Scala film that I shot with either a
Revere or a TDC Colorist (some pics with flash; some without) and I
can't quite figure out how this particular "effect" occurred.  First of
all, there are the correct number of stereo pairs in correct allignment
from the beginning of the roll to the end.  So far, so good.  But there
are also overexposed verticle stripes of varying width and varying
degrees of exposure along nearly the entire roll.  The effect is almost
like a darkroom test strip with no discernable or repeating pattern;
sometimes an image is split down the middle with one half overexposed;
sometimes an image is maade up of 5 or six narrow strips of alternating
light and dark exposure.  At first I though it might be a shutter
problem until I noticed that a few of the images are barely discernable
double exposures.  Then I thought it might be a film advance problem,
but that wouldn't explain the perfectly sized and spaced images that
correctly fill the roll from beginning to end.  I probably haven't made
this very clear, but if this sounds familiar to someone, please let me
know.  I'd very much appreciate any help.

        Don, that is a sticking shutter, most likely.   Check to see that 
each shutter closes _completely_ immediately after each exposure.
