Ron;
Only thing I'd say is make sure the drive counter is set to the number
os frames in the can when you load it. There's a tiny set button on the
back to do this. I always set mine to 37. Then when it reaches 0, the
drive stops and I can rewind. When I load the next roll, it
automatically resets to 37 again. I don't understand why yours reads 36
when it stops?
