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 At 03:56 PM 2/8/2015, Jeff Kreines wrote: >Yep, Buck as always is right I hadnât looked closely at the pictures. >How wide are the platens? > > On Feb 8, 2015, at 3:38 PM, Scott Stark <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > Thanks Jeff, will try that.
