Are you using the entire roll.???  or just part of the roll.  Seems to me Peter
Lorber told me I must use the roll to the end or at least 75% or more before I
rewind.  Mine is the 35mm modified to use non perf, so that there is 1.24 inch
image width.  I have also eliminated one of the rubber pulleys, and it works
fine.
