I’m having a little deja vu here, my late father taught me filmmaking and the sunny 16 rule with a Brownie very similar to this one. Of course that was in 1965 or ‘66, so I’ve been threading film for about 55+ years.. 😉. It’s great to see the renewed interest in film!
The spools are daylight capable and you can technically do it in dim light. But if you really wanted to get your moneys worth on the film, yeah you could carefully do it in the dark.
What's the purpose of the, in lack of better words, metal stump sticking up in the film compartment? Feels like it should have something to do with loading the film but I haven't seen anyone mention it
I haven’t! It could definitely use a CLA. IDK if it’d be worth it price wise but yeah it kinda lags. Visually it looks like it runs ok though from the film test.

Do you know why the shutter button to start the film on one of these won’t work? It was working before I loaded the film and now it isn’t
How do you do all that in the dark?
Practice. It's not that hard once you know how to do it.

My brownie doesnt have the crank for film counter
Da li si skoro podmazao tu kameru? Nešto mi izgleda da sporo vrti.
