I'm new here to the forums, so I'd just like to take the opportunity to say hello to you all! Nice place you've got here.
I'm pretty new to the film world, as I just recently found a Bell & Howell 1585 in a thrift store for $40. There were no films to fully test it with, but I was able to plug it in and confirm that the lamp & lens were alright and all the little bits that looked like they should move moved.
I did some more reading after I took it home and found how to properly load it, but it seems like the Autoload switch that clamps everything down doesn't function properly. Everything goes down as it should, but refuses to stay in the locked position.
Any ideas? I'd like to restore it, but if it's beyond repair, I suppose $40 isn't too bad to eat.
