(my garage sale find of the year) Im just wondering.. is there a trick to loading this camera that I am overlooking? Would lightly peening the metal film catch flap on the take up spool.. hold the leader better?- like mabe over the years its opened slightly and doesnt hold the film as tight.? I have been setting the shutter to Bulb and then holding it open so I can guild the film in more effectivly .. was there a more effective quicker way? Or perhaps an aftermarket spool of better design..? Thanks Input Stephanie Input!!!! Gary
