Battery is a three lighter. Set pressed the shutter release and "NOTHING HAPPENED". So trouble shoot. Took the motor off the camera and put it back on and off she goes in high speed mode running the full roll of film through the camera. Rewind will not work so did a manual rewind and threaded the leader and closed the camera back and off we go again full roll run through the camera. Did this four times. AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! Now where is that number for Leica USA-man I will tell you.
