Thomas, the bottom roller problem could be dirty. So take roller off. And clean the shaft it rides on. Than put back and try it . hopefully that should fix it. Leon Norris.

I have a Bell and Howell 456a with other issues. I noticed that the first metal roller would sometimes bind when I turned it. When I looked closer, I saw that the clip that goes over the post to hold the roller on was installed off center and the clip would drag on the roller all along. I removed the clip, cleaned everything up, straightened the prongs on the clip, then reinstalled the clip using a socket. That centered it and let it spin freely.

Being new to this forum, I'm going to try to attach a picture. Good luck.
