[2] On a 20 or 24 exp roll, it stops when the film is at at end. It tries to pull the film out of the cannister, but cannot do so, and usually trips the circuit breaker to stop. To re-set the breaker, simply remove the battery holder for a second, and slip it back in. It resets everything automatically. At least that's the way it is on my Winder R. Your Winder R4 should be the same. Enjoy! - ---------- David Young, Victoria, CANADA | Out of my mind... http://www.islandnet.com/~youngs/ | Back in five minutes.
