It works! It's weird but it works! Haha thank you very much :D

Ah I think you may have misunderstood... The problem is that the gate is not actually inline with the sprocket, therefore the film has no way of going in front of the light.. maybe this photo will explain better, this view is from above:

New member here. I have been given an old Hanimex Super 8 Zoom projector, but cannot understand how the film is actually supposed to be projected, the spools are not in the right place for the film to pass between the light and the lens... Please see the photos below... Also, if anyone spots anything else I've done wrong, please let me know! (I know the film is loose in most of the shots, I just put it there for show)
