Check if the "the film shoe rollers are completely seated around the [upper] sprocket". There are two screw to loose and then you have to push down the sprocket film shoe assembly. That (partially) solved me the problem (not with flexible tape splices). Page 58 service manual, B.1.b. : http://johnklax.org/manuals/Eiki_SSL_Repair.pdf
Check also the film guard arm (the spring in the other side) (pag 59). I don't know why your e-mails always go in the spam. best Livio Il giorno dom 9 giu 2024 alle ore 21:33 ev petrol <[email protected]> ha scritto: > Upper loop! even without splices ... > > moiratierney.net vimeo.com/moiratierney > > > On Sunday, June 9, 2024 at 12:21:45 PM EDT, Ugo Bo <[email protected]> > wrote: > > > Upper loop or lower loop?
