Yes, I found that information already Stephen, thank you, but nothing about the Sedic itself. All that I have found was concerning the Hannimex IF which appears to be identical, and the data I have on the camera is written in french, which is not a problem as it happens, but no mention anywhere of my 50 pence camera.

At a local flea market I bought a Sedic electronic 35EF 35mm camera, changed the light seals, ran a film through it. It cast 50 pence. Nobody has heared of it, google does not know it, but I have it, is it the only one in the world or does someone else have one? It is identical to the Hanimex 35IF electronic, anyone? oh the results from the film were very good, as good as an XA2 perhaps.

Spool fitted by means of insertion and rotatio of larger diameter philips screw driver in spigot, thus increasing diameter of the tongues. Retaining on spool not brilliant, but with care can load film, have done this several times. Thank you again Stephen, I just need to get the focal plane shutter to close totally at 1/60th and 1/125th, the others work fine.

Thank you for that Stephen, I guess it is not the right take up spool. I had thought of both those methods that you proposed,that is open up the tongue or increase the diameter of the spigot, but because of my lack of knowledge about the Fed, I did not have the nerve to open up the tongues as you have suggested. I am encourageg now to have a go. I also thought of glueing the spool onto the spigot with epoxy, bit dodgey perhaps, anyhow your advice has reassured me, thank you very much. Bill.

Thank you for that, however the problem is that the spool just revolves on the slotted spigot, there is no drive between them, the film moves on from the drive via the perforations in the film, but as the spool cannot rotate itself, the film piles up behind the spool.

My neighbour recently gave me her deceased father's old camera, namely a Fed Zarya. It had no take up spool, just a piece of plastic tube stuck on the slotted spigot on the take up drive, so I bought one on ebay from The Ukraine. I understand that the Fed take spools are common to a number of models, anyhoe the spool looks ok, and slots onto the slotted spigot, but it is a loose fit, and there seems to be no way to drive the spool, when attempting to wind on the film, so of course the film will not wind onto the spool. This is my first experience with Soviet cameras, does anyone have any advice please?
