Re: Winder MEII not winding

[Matt Bevers]

So I pulled the winder off, whacked it around a bit, looked inside, 
then popped it back on the camera.  Tried the wind lever on the camera, 
heard something click in the winder and lo and behold, it works again.  
Who knows why, but I'm not messing with it again.

I recently got a new (to me) Winder MEII, which appeared to work fine 
for a while.  Today, when I try to use it I'm having some 
difficultly.  Pressing the shutter button on the winder will activate 
the meter in either my ME super or my Super Program, but it won't 
actually fire the shutter or wind the film.
Are there any obvious pitfalls I might be encountering?
If the problem exists only when the film was loaded, you can lubricant 
the rewind shaft (less than a drop of oil applied on the shaft will 
do). If the problem exists without film, you might open the top end of 
the grip and clean the contacts.
