So, the machine is back out. I pressed down on the lever with the motor on idle and it continues to spin very fast at around 48fps--like fast forward. I changed the setting to 18 and the sound of the motor running is more like 24fps.
I got film to thread through the gate, which was going behind it at first, when I did not press down on the lever. So, that part of it is okay but, the motor is still running very fast both in forward and reverse while on 24fps. The variable speed adjusting knob does not slow it down nor, make a difference when moved, only the switch from 24 to 18 fps.
When I tried to run film, the supply reel started to spin forward, uncoiling film, instead of sitting idle and letting the take up reel do the work.
If anyone has a manual handy, I would be glad to pay for copy.
