Try mounting the projector upside down on a board. Then the film should sag back on to the reel. You'll have to lay on your back facing the screen

| Post subject: | Re: QUESTION ON FILM |
Really wish I could help you here Thomas, but it's got me baffled as well. All my Super 8 stuff is pretty old. I stopped buying in the early 80s. I have had trouble with one reel of 16mm, when I try to rewind it's uneven and it won't fit back on the reel, sounds similar to your problem. I had to put it on an old machine and rewind by hand. I couldn't see anything wrong with the reel, so don't know why rewinding is a problem. Forgive me asking in case you have already mentioned this, but does this happen with every film, or only some. If you had a spare 400ft reel you could try rewinding on to that and see what happens. I hope you can sort it, the last thing you want is to have to buy 600ft reels for every film. |

There is, of course, the "platter on a plank" winding and stretching technique, perfected by a member of another forum. |

| Post subject: | TROUBLE W/ BELL AN HOWELL DUAL 8 SILENT MODEL 456 PROJECTOR |
hello once again!!! this is my 2nd post. first post i remedied the problem. problem now is the b an h projector i use mostly for projecting. bought this from seller on ebay been running well. this projectior has a direction lever in the middle of the unit. when i want to view film, i manually pull lever up where it locks into position, when i want to reverse lever is pushed downward an then locks into position. problem i am having, want to view a 200 ft reel, film threads fine to take up, but then lever just drops down, i have inspected this film which was in the hands of a collector, very well taken care of. question, what is causing the lever to drop? i dont know anything about the inner workings of a projector. so i could be looking at something that possibly could have gone awry, but i will not see it. i have inspected the film an it looks fine w/ no torn sprocket holes which would certainly cause a problem. any help would be much appreciated, my last resort would be sending it off for repair. |

Is this the same Sankyo in your previous post where film was sagging on the take up reel? |

dan, i remedied the sagging film problem. this is the same projector as mentioned in my prior post. it is the sankyo 700 super 8 sound. problem now is that the threading mechanism will not kick in, also when projector is turned on take up reel will not turn. lil disappointed, bought the sankyo from a person who refurbishes projectors, did not use very much, sankyo is less then 6 months old. i am hesitant to open back of unit, i am not mechanically inclined, any help, much appreciated. |

Thomas, I'm afraid there's no way we can help you fix it if you don't take the back off. If you can remove the back and take a photo or two to post on the forum we can probably see what's wrong .I'm going to move this topic to combine it with original post. |
