Very good quality German-made projectors. Used them in film school a
while back. Not familiar with your model, but they're usually
self-threading. There should be a little metal film notcher near the
feed hole to round the head of the film so it threads properly. If
your projector works, turn the control knob clockwise to turn on lamp
and start the feed. One click for lamp, two clicks for lamp/feed or
the reverse, it's been awhile. If you turn the knob counterclockwise,
the film goes in reverse. Try playing with it with some junk film you
don't care about first.
