The position MIC, allows the tension to be taken up in the film. Please ensure that the film is laced correctly still, with this position selected.

As instructed by CPSU staff, please ensure that sufficient tension is applied to the film, as it comes out the back of the machine by using your hands to assist the film 'feeding' out while playing. Failure to do so, could result in the film being caught in the machine with a possible outcome of tearing the film. To avoid this then please put a Take Up reel on the rear arm and threading the film to this reel to avoid the above issue. |
