Film bended and getting stuck in Eumig 810D

[Gorka Ibanez]

I am having problems with a film getting stuck on the last wheel (just before it comes out on the other end) on my Eumig 810D. The problem is not with the proyector as I tried with a discarted piece of film I had and it went through all the way.

My guess is that the problem is that the film is slightly bended, not horizontally but vertically, that is parallel to the film length.

Any ideas on how to solve this or is the film now useless? Unfortunately, I can't test any other film as I can't access them due to pandemic restrictions.

Thank you in advance.

You could try splicing the junk piece of film to the film you're having problems with and see if it then loads through the machine and runs.

Great idea, Joseph. I'll try it out.
