I had to take one of those completely apart once, but it's been a while. As I recall, the ratchet and pawl on the bottom control the winding movement. There is a somewhat circular peice with steps on it that couples the winder to the shutter. The design of that allows partial stroke winding. I've noticed that piece can wear and cause problems, too. The little spring on the pawl is easy to displace when you take the bottom cover off since one leg sits against the body. I also recall there is a gear that reverses the winder motion and that gear is held in place with a LH screw. I remember, because I twisted the screw head off first time I worked on one of those. :-)
