Does anyone have a suggestion for S8 servicing in the Chicago area?

Is one jammed cartridge enough of a test to determine it is the camera and not a faulty cartridge?

I know, I was thinking of having it serviced/cleaned either way. I have a couple cartridges to play around with.

Thanks.

Thanks guys. I'll take a look. Does anyone have suggestions for S8 repair in the Chicago area?

I recently bought an 814az, it is in good cosmetic condition. Functionally, it makes noise when I use the trigger, the manual aperature works, the manual and auto zoom work. However, when I tried to test shoot with my first reel (Kodak 7280 Ektachrome 64T Color Reversal Super 8 Silent 50' Film), it tore the notches in the film, and would not advance.

What causes this? Has anyone else experienced this? Is there something I can do, or different film I should be buying?

Thanks for your help.
