Shannon, Where are you located? There is Harry Fleenor in California as well. If yo uhave a late 30s, and the back is not bad, Harry or someone can repair it. Sounds like a light leak from a lousy seal. What I suggest if try on more roll and electrical tape the seams completely. Then see if there is not a light leak. If not, then your back need adjustment. Can you notice any bends in it?
