Well, it may just be a lucky day, or I am moving towards success. I don't want to be too positive here, might jinx myself, but I shot my first roll without any leak whatsoever. I did tape the area behind take up spool where looks like some damage may have occurred to threads, and screw there is not in as deeply as the next one. Shot in 4 directions in shade, then sun, then with an orange filter. The roll is perfect. Thank you Zivco for that.
After work I went to the darkroom, but first loaded up some rolleiflex infrared 400. Shot at infinity 4 then mid focus 4 then close focus 4. I can't tell if I am being too over aware, but looks like, with a mgnifier, maybe two shots may have a faint line in close the same position. These were shot pointing towards the sun direction. I noticed just now that the tape had lifted a little there, and it was infrared film.
I will try again tomorrow. with my regular Acros film. Thank you Daniel for your input. I may order a new leather piece for wind side, as it was very thin, and looks to have come apart, torn when removed, then glued back. Understandable, as it was very thin. Well, tomorrow another day, another roll. That will be seven rolls!
