Subject: [Leica] Leicaflex problem. Need help.

Hi there:

I have a Leicaflex standard that I love.  The problem is that the
advance crank does not always advance the film.  So,  I take a shot,
then crank it and it does nothing. Sometimes it even locks up so I can't
even snap a picture.  I have to keep cranking until it will finally let
me depress the shutter,  then it will advance.  Sometimes it will take 5
pictures in a row fine and then lock up so I can't advance the film at
all. Has anyone experienced this sort of thing and if so,  what can you
recommend?

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Gabe
