Hello,

On my Motiograph AA I have a 6000 foot reel arm system installed. When I put a full reel on the arm after I thread the projector the film will rub against the square hole where the film enters the projector. I set up the arms by Kelmars instructions.

Any idea how to fix this?

Thanks,
Cody

You're missing a roller, that's the problem. Both 7000 and 8000 series kelmar arms have adjustable guidance rollers on both the upper and lower arm.
