Richard,
You are absolutely right again!
The top lip of the Rolleikin must be pushed in first and the rest snaps
flush into place.
Never had this problem before...
Really slipping up...
Thanks,

I don't have the Rollikin you do but I do have a
Rolleikin C which I use in a 2.8E. I just checked the film
gate and metering part in a Rolleicord IV and compared it
with the older Rolleikin I use in that camera. Both sit flat
and the film rails are exactly in line with the rollers.
Make sure the gate mechanism is really all the way in the
120 film gate. There is an undercut part at the top of the
adaptor which fits under the top of the 120 film gate. If it
isn't fitted right it will prevent the adaptor from seating
completely and will also tilt it. I use a small straight
edge to check the fit.
