Maybe is needed to tense the film of the reel? or is a constructive characteristic of the Bauer P6 projector? what is your opinion about this projector?

Thanks a lot, regards, Arturo.

Hello,
question is easy but answer is difficult as several modification had been made to Bauer P6 during production time.
1. Is front arm equipped with tooth belt? (remove cover)
2. Does it have a 3-pin or 4-pin claw?
3. If you run film backwards with about 400m film on front reel is film taken up on front reel as it should do?

regards
Josef
