Nickelodeon Won't Rewind
By Vic Marsilio

I acquired a nickelodeon which uses Style 0 rolls. It plays
beautifully!  However, it will not rewind after the final song.

I traced the B hole (re-roll) tube back to two pneumatics that look to
me to be in a "lock" arrangement.  Sometimes the roll will begin to
rewind only a few inches and then it will return to play until the
paper reaches the rewind punch.  Then it will begin to rewind only a
few inches.  This process would then repeat over and over again.

By removing the tubing from the above mentioned pneumatics, I can then
get the roll to rewind.  If the tubes are replaced before the rewind is
complete, the roll begins to play.  Help!

If you wish, you may reply privately.  Thank-you in advance!
