The advance motor had too much torque and would damage the camera. The newer ones are a lot better. They are noisy, and many have the characteristic "thump". I had one that thumped so badly, it would make a quarter bounce when laid on the front part of the winder. Tom's Rapidwinder on the other hand has none of these problems. Since it is human powered, you can't overtorque the camera on the advance. It is also very quiet and built like a tank. They extended advance lever makes a formidable weapon. If you ever have a problem with it, Tom is an e-mail or phone call away. Bill Rosauer
