How do you thread keystone sixty 8mm movie projector?

Answer 1

first install film on the upper reel with the film coming off the front (clockwise). next slip film between the two rollers and onto the upper sprocket. there are little arrows that show direction. next push the film pressure plate forward using little thumb tab this should lock it open allowing you to slide film pressure plate. now the key thing is you need a loop of film above and below the lens area. there is actually a embossed pattern to follow similar to the arrows showing direction. after getting your two loops flick pressure plate closed and wiggle film up and down to ensure it catches the sprocket inside the gate. repeat same process for lower sprocket. lastly thread film into slot on lower take up reel. hit the switch make sure everything is moving properly then hit the lights
