I've just bought a 16mm Muray deluxe viewer, its in great condition, and the build quality is very impressive....But i'm having trouble figuring how to fit the spools on the rewind arms.

The rest of the transport is clearly for 16mm, but on the rewind arms , with the catches out a 16mm spool won't slid on fully.

I've taken off that part, but then it leaves too much space as below:

I am sure this is really well designed and i am just overlooking something simple, so i don't want to hack off any parts yet.

Any ideas? Would be really appreciated.

Looking at your pictures Raj, I think that the spindles are missing
they should be square to fit the spool centre.
On my rewinds they slide over the round spindle,to make it
square for the 16mm spool.

Great, thanks for your help guys, i have got back in touch with the seller and he's sending me the 16mm adapters. The ones in the picture are for 9.5mm which makes sense.
