This happened to me very recently for the first time...It was my popeye Demaio print, super 8 colour/sound. It was hillarious, because i somehow managed to get it to run when first viewing, but it was reeled wrong...It wasn't simply needing rewinding, as i tried that, but it was actually backwards and reversed... It took a bit of a think, but i figured it out and got it looking like Janice's pic above! My guess is someone removed the film from the original reel, stored it, and then put in back on a cheap reel when they sold it, and it came wound all wonky.. Cheers, Matt

I guess you have four possibilities: (with the film leaving the reel on the side you are facing)
1)sprockets on the left, emulsion out, stripe in (frames upside down) 2)sprockets on the left, base out, stripe out (frames right side up) 3)sprockets on the right, base out, stripe out (frames upside down) 4)sprockets on the right, emulsion out, stripe in (frames right side up) **
and only when you get: -sprockets on the left, emulsion out, stripe in (frames upside down)
-are you ready to project the film...
(See?.....Simple!....not!)
**4)is ready for normal rewinding. 2) and 3) shouldn't ever happen!
-------------------- All I ask is a wide screen and a projector to light her by...
