Hey Boris! Congratulations, I like my ME-II winders very much. One thing to check: Look in the winder socket on the bottom of the camera and be sure the little lever that slides back and forth to trip the sutter is free and easy to move. On cameras that have never seen a winder before this lever gets sticky and hard to move. This will cause noise, strain on the winder and possible mis-fires. A simple clean and lubrication will fix it right up.
