a bummer, thanks guys - looks like it's not
usable for 35mm. Fortunately I got it cheap, but
cheap is expensive if it doesn't work...
Still, I'm wondering how you align the right-hand
film strip - it looks like there are no holes for pins at all. ??
Jeff, the platens are slightly wider than a strip of 35mm film.
Oh, and the acetone worked great! pins are now
retractable. Too bad I had to buy a quart of it just for 2 drops -- :-)
thank you,
Scott

Yep, Buck as always is right I hadnât looked closely at the pictures.
How wide are the platens?

The 16mm seems to be the only one on the right;
there are two other holes on the left that
might produce pins once it's unglued. Or are
35mm pros so expert they don't need pins?

And how to align the 35mm film without them? I
don't see any other pins other than the 16mm
ones right in the middle of the 35mm image.
There are some buttons on the sides that don't
seem to move, and some other nuts and screws.
