How Do I load an 8mm film projector?

Question

I have a Sears Du-All 8mm/super 8 film projector. I am, however, 26 and have no idea how to load the film. I've tried every way i can think of to load it. HELP!! And please, use the most basic terms you can - i know nothing about these things.

Answer 1

Not easy to explain in writing.  Most of these projectors have a diagram on the inside case that shows how to thread the film.  You should have an empty reel in the left holder and a full reel on the right holder.  Then you thread the film from right to left, hooking it into the left film holder.  As I said, there should be a diagram showing the path of the film through the machine.  Good luck.
