engage on loading
Hi:
I found when LOADing a film, the counter, which, at times,
did not begin to start counting, resulted in the whole
film to going through.
And the solution was to put a little momentary pressure on
the feeler roller, and the counter was engaged. May bd
useful for someone who has this problem. Regards, John
That suggests that the mechanism may be getting stiff
due to old lubricant. The feeler roller is normally adjusted
so that it will trip on paper backing even without the extra
thickiness of the tape. There is an adjustment for the
roller inside the camera. Its also possible for it to have
drifted off with time. Generally, when this problem occurs
its a sign that the camera needs an overhaul.
