That intermittent slapping or ticking sound happens near the end of the wind. I cannot recreate the sound with the door open to inspect further.

Just new 8mm owner worries or incoming problem? anything else I may be missing?

All speeds are accurate and winds 21-22 half turns reliably. Carries test roll through well and I’m awaiting fresh film to test further!

Just purchased from EBay - new to me Paillard L8. I’ve only just had a little time to run it, however the little arm that is supposed to grab the film doesn‘t seem to extend far enough. having a hard time uploading a video for some reason…but hopefully pictures help a little.

Any thoughts or ideas?

I know it needs a thorough CLA, but I’d like to know it’s at least ok before spending time and money on it!
