Canon 1014 scraping off emulsion

[Mr Blackstock]

Hello,

I am running a few tests on a Canon 1014 I recently bought, and although everything on the camera seems to be working well, after shooting for around 10 seconds I remove the cartridge, 100D, and discover a little bit of emulsion "fluff" between the film and the cartridge "pressure" area.

I tested the cart in three other cameras without the same issue, so back to the 1014. i marked the film and ran it for a second or two, and the film advance seems fine. There seems to be no abnormalities with the cameras film guide, no scratches.

On examining the cart a little closer, I tried winding it abit, and the damn thing broke! The spindle turns freely now and half the cart is wasted... :evil:

So, I am asking if anyone has had a similar issue with emulsion "fluff" buildup on the cart, and now I am asking about this film breakage issue, I have never had that happen before...

cheers, Gareth

Sorry this is somewhat unrelated but I fond this quote halfway down the page on a video blog:

"But the real clincher is the lack of flare, and the fluorite elements
really have put paid to the Sony's green flare trademark. There's less of a
hysteresis loop to the manual focusing, too, though it's far from perfect.
By the way, perfect belongs to a camera made by Canon 25 years ago - the
1014E, so how's that for progress?"

Hi Gareth!
You know that the take up spindle in the cartridge has some type of mechanism that the film on it can not unroll? When you take a new cartridge and you pull some film from the new side and then turn the take up spindle you will hear a clicking sound. To be able to pull film off the take up spindle you first have to break this mechanism by forcing the spindle the "wrong" way; then it can move freely to both sides and you can pull film out from the "exposed side".
I guess to be able to help you with the fluff you should examine the exposed film and find out on which part of the film it gets scratched off - like on the side with the sprockets, in the area where the film is guided or is it right in the middle of the picture?
