Hi everyone,
Long time reader, first time poster.
I recently picked up an arriflex 16bl, and I cannot find a way to open up the camera door. Ive scoured the internet for videos/instructions, and the best I could find was that the silver "A-Z" knob in the picture has to be turned to the right. Is this all that needs to happen? Because I am trying to turn it as hard as I can and it wont budge. Is there a release or something somewhere?
Also, Ive never tried to post and cant figure out how to embed this photo lol.....

Furthermore, if anyone has anything they believe I should check before the Ebay return period expires, please lmk! The movement/motor do seem to work, but i have yet to put any film through it.
Thanks so much.
Jesse
