Hello, I'm new here. I just picked up a Showmaster 878, and when trying to load my film, the upper spindle was driving, spinning the film out, while the rear take up reel wasn't moving. The film would not feed either. I thought the rear spindle would be driven to take up the film. I made sure the unit was in forward. I do not have a manual, but followed the directions labeled inside the cover.
I could not find a manual online anywhere.
Thanks,
Doug

Doug, check the belts? Pull the rear cover off and see! Good luck! Leon.
