1) Try new batteries 2) Clean the rewind post on the MX. They get gummy with age and increase the friction on unrolling the film from the cassette. (The winder Thinks things are too tight, so I've reached the end of the roll.) Open the camera back. Hold a coin in the film slot on the rewind crank. Screw off the plastic top with crank. Clean the metal shaft. (The more adventurious can remove the shaft entirely, clean it, and then fiddle it back into the body.)
Regards, Bob S. >>recently bought an MX Winder (from a shop with 3 months g'tee). The winder worked fine on my MX in the shop without film but with film in the camera (new batteries in the winder) it sometimes fails to complete a wind and I'll have to finish manually. Sometimes it does this and the light stays on (indicating the end of film, although it's not) and sometimes there is no light. When the end of film is reached the light doesn't usually come on, you can hear the winder 'slipping' as it tries to wind. Generally the winding sounds a bit laboured. Any ideas?<<
