you could try asking for a refund and hold out for what you really
need and want.

if he won't refund your money, you are probably better off sticking
with the double-8mm film and either working in 8mm or editing it in
with your other 16mm footage as was mentioned earlier. but in
general those krosnagorsks are troublesome. mine had all kinds of
problems, the biggest of which included tearing film edges and losing
loop in the middle of a shot. btw, i did not see your link to the
16mm camera because my computer's security filter blocked it. but i
am assuming it's a Krasnogorsk K-2.

enjoy today...
