My first ME Super's advance died after years of heavy use (I bought it used in 1993 or so, I think, and it died in 2000). The advance just jammed completely. It would unlock after some fiddling, and then jam again after firing 20 or so frames. I would fire off a few dozen frames with no film in the camera and make sure that the advance felt smooth. -Aaron - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
