charles pappas Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 I am submitting this for any future "Google," searchers who are having their film pile up at the take-up reel of their Beaulieu R-16s. This bedeviled me for quite a while, and a Beaulieu tech missed it (or gave it the sunshine treatment). I finally noticed that lip of the metal cap (at the arrow) had pulled up from the housing, causing drag then pile up of the film. I used epoxy to stick the lip back down. As shown in the photo the front of the lip was and is still pulled up off the housing but the back half stuck down and that eliminated the drag. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Neal Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 thanks charles, just got an r16 off ebay that's in pretty rough shape and noticed it had this issue! Haven't run any film thru it yet so you saved me a hassle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
