After threading and running the projector, the image is split. I'm not sure if I threaded this wrong?

Your help is much appreciated.

It just sounds like you need to adjust the frame line position. I'm not familiar with this machine but I'm sure someone will be able to tell you which knob you have to fiddle with,

Zachary,

Look at the machine from the front, facing the lens. The frame adjustment is the red knob below the silver rewind roller.
