Yashica 8PE-RS film editor

[rschmitty]

I got my 8mm film editor out of storage after years of being unused. I
can't find the manual and I don't know how to thread the film through
it. Can anyone help me with the correct film path?
Thanks,
Robert

Hi, Robert, I just bought one on Ebay... same exact model. It did not have a manual (I guess we both need that) but I remember as a kid how to thread it from watching my Dad. Here goes... working from left reel to right... film should go...

1) UNDER the first (upper left) shiny aluminum pulley
2) UNDER the smaller tiny spindle with the screw in center of it
3) OVER top, around, and underneath toward left of the special drive wheel (with the little film sprocket points on it)
4) then STRAIGHT DOWN between the little flat plate and the nose of the gray tapered part with the PE # stamped on it.
5) then, around BOTTOM of 2nd aluminum pulley (your lower left one)
6) now, STRAIGHT ACROSS BOTTOM to lower rt pulley, (around outside of it) over right edge;
7) now go UP to the upper rt pulley, but in this case, curving film around the LEFT side of it, then
8) continue up to returning film to the right side spool.

Now, question for you... when you turn the cranks on mine, (whichever way) the sprocket drive is too small for my Super-8 reels.... does yours have a little plastic adapter that widens them to drive your spools? Right now, I have to fudge it by using a wrapped up rubber band. I think I am missing a part....

Hi Brad,
I have inherited the same model. It would be great if you could put a little movie on youtube of the above instructions. I'm afraid I'm going to mess things up.

Correction: while writing this reply I decide to have a look in the other boxes, besides the Yashica there was also an Elmo GP Deluxe, an Agfa 3000 Movexoom 3000 (very spacy that one) and a hähnel kollmatic SD8 and guess what... in that last little box I found a small paper with the instructions.

I have taken pictures of the manual and uploaded them - I can do a proper scan to pdf later if you want. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5DKOqCcaOGDSlo1Smh2cW9GMFE/edit?usp=sharing

Don't know if you'll get the message but I can scan my manual and email to you.
