the door.
• Release the doors of the upper and lower pinch rollers by pressing
the white buttons and gently pulling open.

below the first idler roller. Bypass the upper sprocket for the time
being and push the film directly through the upper channel slot to
the outside of the nose. Pull through about one foot in length.
• Reintroduce the film into the lower slot, back into the magazine.
• Place a plastic take-up core onto the take-up spindle, check that
the core is seated properly, and press the center of the core lock to
lock the core in place.
• Bypass the lower sprocket for now and pass the film underneath
the lower roller. Fit the film end into a plastic take-up core and
wind on a few turns counter-clockwise and emulsion in.
• Thread the film around the lower sprocket, making sure the film's
perforations engage the sprocket teeth. Close the lower pinch roller
until it locks firmly in position and a noticeable click is heard.
