Originally posted by cwhite98 Hey guys! I'm really new to my Pentax 67. I have used one film in this and it loaded fine the first time. I am now trying to load it again and the film spool won't spin when I put this in the right side and try and load my film onto it. When I take the spool out and crank the camera I can see the screw is spinning but the two bits that stick out to catch the film spool doesn't spin with it? Anyone else had this problem? I really hope it's something that is fixable!
Ensure that the nibs are firmly engaged in top and bottom slots of the take-up spool. If they are not, you will see the nibs move but not the spool.
Likewise, also ensure that the leader is engaged with the tang on the take-up spool and wind it one or two times just to make sure. If, with no film loaded you use the wind-on lever and can positively observe the upper nib moving (the lower nib does not move when no film is loaded), then the problem is with the loading.
