The brass roller is not a roller, per se. The film goes nowhere near the "roller". This so-called roller is at the top of the mechanism, and feels spring loaded as mentioned and sits tight against the top until the machine is put into 'lights' mode which in this case is lights/forward combo mode. This drops the mechanism aligning the bottom plastic guide so the film will go through. If this mechanism is tight or faulty, the film will bind here... Sorry, i was in a rush yesterday(Sundays) and couldn't type more to help.... Chuck, I would concentrate on this area and get this working again. We may need a schematic to know exactly how it should operate to detect what is faulty. Maybe it needs some superlube inside to allow this motion engaged. Hope you can get it working.
I've never had the schematic manual for this machine, but I did upload my copy of the elmo user manual for this machine which may be of some use: http://www.film-tech.com/warehouse/wareview.php?id=2043&category=2
