Picked this up at an estate sale. After regreasing some of the levers/cleaning path etc it threads fine but doesn't pick up on to the autoloader take up reel. The issue seems to be the take up spindle itself. It doesn't seem to stay flush to the arm. It's cocked out a bit making the take reel wobbly as it turns, so the flim hits the reel edge and falls down instead of getting picked up.
The spindle seems to be a bit larger than most Bell's i've come across, and doesn't have any washer or standoff like the smaller spindles have. See pics. Is something missing?? Also, the entire black portion of the spindle seems to come out slightly from the silver spindle shell. (see pics) I can push it in by hand and make it flush, but the weight of the reel pulls it back out. I can't seems to pull it out any further either - thinking maybe it just became unglued inside or something. Thoughts there?
