Loading IIIF - Issue with pressure plate?

[Timmyjoe]

Congrats on fixing your camera. It can be nerve wracking taking a camera apart, but the iiif is pretty robust. Have fun with it.

Stupid answer but you need a long leader, 22 sprocket holes worth. Film trimmed the modern way will NOT track.

All the tricks to load one without doing it properly will fail eventually including the business card.

and it does appear the pressure plate was on upside down. When i reversed it, and put it back together, i can finally get the film to slide in.

Called it! 😀

Good to hear it's working now.
