Thanks, Zos. I tested the camera with the one remaining roller and it
seems to work just fine. I'm not sure if I even need to try and repair
it, but it may be as simple as just snapping the loose part back into place.
Here are photos of the roller as it is now and the part that broke off:

IIRC the broken off piece wraps around the first roller, so both press
of the film. I haven't figured out how it snaps on though - maybe
another part got lost when I opened the camera.
Thanks
Mark

That would be great - I want to test it without the missing part and see if
it makes a difference anyhow. Many thanks!

Hi Mark - can do in a day or so, but the MZ-S is currently loaded with
film: expect to clear it
soon, if that's Ok. (yes, I know I can unload and reload to the same
frame!).

Subject: For MZ-S Owners
If anyone on the list has an MZ-S, would you mind sending me a close up
picture of the pressure
roller that sits over the film uptake socket? It is a two part roller -
some how today when I
inserted a roll of film the outer roller broke free.
The film made a bad noise when taking up the leader and when I opened the
camera to see what was
going on, the outer roller was just sitting on top of the roll of film.
I'm not sure if that roller
is even needed, but I saved it and would like to try re-attaching it if
possible. I am not even sure
I have all the parts. I reloaded the roll with the camera as is and it
seems to be working fine, but
I won't know till I shoot it out and develop if it is working OK. I'm
thinking the film might not
lie flat or maybe the partial roller mechanism would scratch the film.
Thanks!
Mark
