It looks like the knob has a way of screwing itself in as you wind, becoming tighter and tighter until the advance doesn't work anymore. My problem went away when I installed a new rewind knob. But take a look at it, maybe rotate in the direction it goes when you wind (with no film in the camera) and maybe you'll figure out what's wrong. j - -- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Juan J.
