So cool to see this thing getting some love! When I got it, the film wind knob was stuck. I didn't think anything of it, and opened it up to make sure it was halfway salvageable before I sold it. Turns out it still had film in it. They were the old style wooden film spools, and the film had melted in place and couldn't be un spooled from either end. Can't wait to see it all back together!
I also came across my stash of 116 spools not too long ago. Let me know if you plan to shoot with this one eventually, and I can send you a couple spools if you need!
Holy smokes!! Crazy that the film had gotten so mangled in there - that’s so strange! It would be absolutely amazing if we could arrange something to get ahold of a couple 116 spools if you wouldn’t mind!

Thanks for sharing this video - I came across it while figuring out how to disassemble a portrait hawkeye brownie.
Thank you for watching! I hope it was helpful! :)
