I just adjusted my Automat's feelers. My problem was the feelers tripping too early. The bottom cover has to be on, so as to depress the reset counter and hold it down. This squeezes the rollers together, but not tight enough to trip the counter with only backing paper alone. As soon as the film passes over, it will trip the lever attached to the feeler adjustment screw as well as engage the counter at the top. Prior to engagement, the gear next to the counter should not be interlocked, only after the clunk of the lever tripping is heard should the counter engage. I managed to loosen the feelers to fit my commonly used film (Tmax and Neopan) but it still too tight for Shanghai GP which has really thick backing paper. I gave up, it's a cheap film anyway. |
