Again: I have no experience with slides, but using the film holder in
the beginning I was annoyed sometimes by much the same horrible noise
you describe, all the while the holder refused to advance anymore.
It seemed that the trouble was caused by the not perfectly closed
holder: as a result it was sllightly thicker than normal and obviously
got stuck during transport.
My suggestion is that you have slides that are slightly too thick
perhaps? I realize that the two holders are way different in their
layout, however.
