I have some old Super 8 homemovies when my Family went to Pleasntville NY &my Aunt had a house up there .

Hello, I saw a way, to open the lower sprocket, there's a lever on the side, Push that down & it will open .

At 6:47 where you say "over the top" as you wrap it around the "shiny pulley". There are two shiny pulleys, one on the top and one on the bottom (which you correctly looped the film around). Sticking out of both pulleys are little knobs. If you move the top knob up, it will raise the "eyebrow" over the top sprocket. If you move the bottom knob down, the lower eyebrow will be raised. You always want the film on both sprockets to make contact between the eyebrow and the sprocket. (you should not run the film through the projector as you did with only the top sprocket as you can damage the sprocket holes in the film that way).

Thanks for that, I'll go over it again but as I recall, the bottom eyebrow (great way to describe it) doesn't lift no matter what I do. So I don't know if it's broken or if it's supposed to be tight like that. I'll try following your instructions and see if I was pushing the wrong way

Moving bottom knob down (towards the floor), should cause the lower eyebrow to raise.

Try pushing the matching bottom lever to release the cog. Then thread the film over the bottom cog and release the lever.
