Today my dad dropped off his fathers old home movies and standard 8mm projector:
Baskon Automatic 500
I could not figure out how to get the film properly threaded. I'm not sure if I am supposed to make a loop?
without a loop it was pulling the film from the reel, but it would not stay on the take up reel.
I'll be honest I am so new to this I don't even know how to properly attach the film to one of these metal take up reels.
at first the take up reel would not spin. I removed it and lubricated and it was then able to spin freely just like the rewind.
However, if you see where I pointed the comb in the photo. sometimes neither forward or rewind will spin unless i remove the cover and tap this belt.
has anyone ever seen this projector?
I'm sad because I saw about 20 seconds of my dads childhood Walt Disney World Vacation and it looked great, but the film was just falling on to the floor so I ended it.
thank you
