I'd ask for a refund, unless you want a double-8 camera. In fact, even if
you do want a double-8 camera, you could certainly get a regular-8 Bolex for
the same amount you paid for that one. The listing says standard 16mm,
which is totally and demonstrably untrue. You can tell that's not a 16mm
daylight spool, for one.
