Unlike many cameras that operate very happily with a non-functioning frame counter, the Super A's shutter will be forever locked at 1/1000 second with the meter switched off. As a power saving and anti fogging feature its shutter and meter have this by-pass applied to them from the moment the back is closed until the frame counter reaches number one.
You will need this repaired to get proper function from your camera. regards, Anthony Farr > -----Original Message----- > From: Kostas Kavoussanakis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > I bought a Super-A on eBay last night, described with the following > fault: "the number saying what picture it is doesn't move round when > you wind the film on."
