You insert the tool into the 35mm film canister to extract the developed film.<br /><br />Sounds like the film slipped off the tab the first time. You need to be careful that both are on their respective tabs and you are supposed to take the slack out by using your fingernail to rotate the gear on the right.<br /><br />Cranking should stop making the ratchet noise when you get to the end of the film. You need to crank at a constant speed to spread the developer evenly.<br /><br />I agree with the wolf brigade, you need to over expose by at least one stop or take photos in BRIGHT sunlight.<br /><br />Note the developer goes bad pretty quickly so I&#39;d be surprised if you can get it to work!Amtraker-Mikehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09857236393443756177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30071236.post-22957972750194805062009-09-07T01:10:42.542-07:002009-09-07T01:10:42.542-07:00fantastic blogi n t e r n i t s c hhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04813565004946383840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30071236.post-51484766755735447812009-04-01T14:57:00.000-07:002009-04-01T14:57:00.000-07:00From my experience it's doubtful that Diafine will work, since it seems to work on the standard Polaroid principle of trademark chemical goop being needed to activate the emulsion.<BR/><BR/>In the event that you develop your next roll semi sucessfully, I have found that a short dip in fixer makes the black backing soft enough to wipe off with latex coated gloved hands after developing. <BR/><BR/>I also found that I needed to over expose my stuff by at least a stop (if not more) to get anything to come out. Mine expired in the 90s sometime, though I've had one 'decent' roll, though nothing worth sharing just yet. <BR/><BR/>I still have 18 rolls left I think, and I really should find some time to try it out...<BR/><BR/>Thank goodness I have the later model processor which is all automatic!the_wolf_brigadehttp://www.flickr.com/photos/the_wolf_brigade/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30071236.post-45152952505480036872009-03-14T04:35:00.000-07:002009-03-14T04:35:00.000-07:002 girls based in London, still half hangovered,and laying lazily on a sofa, found this article whilst trying to work out how the heck to use the polachrome and polagraph boxes that we have. We had great fun reading your article, which is detailed just spot on and does help. Do you want to recycle your AutoProcessor? we'll return it with a polaroid portrait of the two of us.Rachelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05378061814005792025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30071236.post-76159773084155755982008-05-19T12:00:00.000-07:002008-05-19T12:00:00.000-07:00I think I Might just be staying in and reading your entire blog tonight.
