Post subject: Adapt a Roll 620 film holder

Hi,
Recently I bought a Adapt A Roll 620 film holder. I was hoping to use
it with my Busch Pressman 23.
However, I could not make the film counter to register.
There is a shaft at the far end of the holder, if I turn it manually,
the film counter would move, so the connection is working.
However, when I put on film (both the take up and supply are 620
spools) and turn the big winding wheel, the film advances, but the film
counter does not move.
It seems to me that there is not enough tension applied to the supply
spool, and therefore the film is kind of loose inside the holder, and
therefore can not apply enough tension on the shaft to turn the film
counter.
Anyone had this similar experiene before, and how do you fix it?
Thanks,
Wenbiao |

| Thanks Nick, I will do that tonight and report back,
When I turn the shaft manually with my figures or when I turn the
winding knob with my right hand, and press the film paper with my left
hand, the film counter turns freely without much resistance at all...

Apply a lot of dry lubricant -- I use powdered graphite -- to the shaft
at the far end of the film chamber. Rotate the shaft by hand, apply a
lot of dry lubricant in the ratchet/film counter area. Work the thing
for a while, and it should free up. When you're done, blow the excess
graphite out. The problem isn't insufficient tension on the film, it
is excessive friction, usually in the shaft the ratchet turns on or the
shaft the frame counter turns on.
I use three AAR 620s, they all need this treatment from time to time.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> >> Stay informed about: Adapt a Roll 620 film holder |

Are you loading 620 spools, or somehow getting 120 in there?<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> >> Stay informed about: Adapt a Roll 620 film holder |

Have you tried cleaning and lubing it? The thing must be a few years old-)
Likely been sitting unused for quite a while to. When I got mine it needed
some lube. That really helped.
