I've just purchased a Grafmatic film holder which seems to be working, but I can't figure out how to open it up to load the six septums. What's the secret, or is my holder broken? Thanks for any help, David

Double posting is not required on this board. Just ask once. Somebody will get to it.

David-->>>Move the dial to #1<<<
>>>Pull the darkslide out
>>>Depress the chrome lever
>>pull on darkslide until septum holder opens
>septums will be on the underside<,so be carefull that they do not drop out--also in replacing them in the dark--suggest that you hold the end of the septums, until they are
at least halfway installed! Suggest a little daylight practice, to prevent any "real time" darkroom frustrations. Bert

Reading the instructions is like calling the phone company these days--if you want to change your address, press 1--if you want to check your phone bill, press 2---ect, ect
Your input is really appreciated Les, because, like on the old forum>>it's kinda like talking to a live person, and getting live answers! The initial dialog works best for me! Oversight on my part, should have suggested the instruction page as you said, just anxious to answer a oft times overlooked, bottom of the page question!
