Can't seem to load a roll of film into it without the film jamming and/or tearing. I ran tons of film through it many years ago. As I remember it, sometimes I would trim the tab down per the little picture on the base plate, sometimes not. It didn't seem to make a difference. Even loaded my home-rolled cassettes without a problem. Is today's film base thinner? Is there a loading trick I've forgotten? Also discovered that my favorite leather strap on it has dried out. Any suggestions for a replacement? Would appreciate any thoughts or suggestions. Many Thanks!
