I've had five or six ME Supers and an MX. None have shown any
indication of transport problems. However, the MX doesn't seem to
advance the film as smoothly as the ME Supers, and at one time I had
to make a small adjustment to the film advance by tightening a screw
or bold on the bottom of the camera. It smoothed things out a bit.
Perhaps a bit of PM is in order every now and then.
