I seen this on E-bay but i don't understand what the seller is talking about. Can anyone shed some light on this.

I beleive he is saying that the picture is jumping so often during the projection. So we need to keep pressing the loop lever.

cheers,

Hi,

I guess that Winbert is correct. The cause for this "jumpiness" are most likely either tons of splices or worn out perforation holes or a shrunk print...
... in any case it sounds like your bid shouldn't exceed the price of four EMPTY reels as the film itself is most likely "unprojectable" [Wink]
