It is a sign that the film advance is wearing out. It can be repaired
but it would probably be cheaper to replace it. However, some times if
it is minor they respond to a good CLA and are usable for a few more years.

Howdy, gang! I've noticed over the last dozen or so rolls from the MX
that frame spacing is not consistent. There's always at least some
space, so the pictures aren't overlapping, but sometimes the spacing
is almost 1/8" which seems wide to me. There's a little extra play in
the advance lever that I don't notice on the K1000. Is this something
that can be repaired? Is it anything to be worried about? Or is this
normal behavior for a twenty-something year old camera?
Thanks!
