Bronica polariod back jam

[ron_black2]

Can anyone help ? I am having trouble with the Etrsi polariod back I,

I seem to have a problem with the paper tabs , the first three shots

were fine, after that the paper tabs did not come through when the

film was pulled slowly out. I am not sure if I am placing the tabs in

the back correctly when loading . On the 5th I managed to grab the

tab using a small pair of tweezers ,on removing this film another 3

films followed all at once. I am using polariod 664 b/w 100 iso .

Remove the roller assembly from the back door of the holder.<p>It should look clean, with

no broken parts.<p>If the rollers have dried on brown developer on the ends, rinse them off

in warm water.

I'm sorry, I was going to post a picture, but was unable to.<p>With the rollers removed from

the back, clean off any dried on developer on the spring loaded door, ( the little door that you

pull the film through,) with warm water.<p>Check for any broken parts or springs on that

door flap and

the roller assembly.<p>Make sure the roller assembly is seated properly in the back door.

With the problem that you've described, usually the pack film itself proves to be

defective.<p>Try a new pack of film from a different lot. If that works, if the tabs pull

normally on a

different pack of film, return the defective film.

I have had problems like this with part used film packs that have then been sitting around for some time.

 

If I use a film pack in a week or two it works fine all the way through. So check the state of the rollers, and if they look OK, I think it is a problem with the film pack itself.
