I never got to fit a 120 spool in my Brownie 6-16, but I wanted to take it out today, at an outdoor event.
I already figured known truncated wall anchor thing fitted on the 120 supply spool, but, unfortunately, once on the body, the spool falls in, missing the two metal tabs meant to hold the 616 spool at the right height.
So, looking for a spacer material, I grabbed a pair of rubber beer bottle stoppers, and in the assembly went.
Great fit, and winding seems smooth. I can read read backing paper frame numbers
So, to summarize:
120 supply spool, a pair of truncated wall anchors (they often go by color, mine are white), a pair of rubber bottle stoppers.
Insert short wall anchor through the stopper, then mount on end of spool, both sides.
Slide in the body supply side.
All happy, I took it outside and took a picture, forgetting to adjust the frame count to account for the 6-exposure capacity...!
