I also thought the shaft was just plain, and I can see no need for a clutch on a simple roll film camera. All you do is wind the film off one spool and onto another, still I could be wrong as my experience of 620 folders is limited. The '5 minute' description sounds as if the slipping bits tend to seize up after a while - getting warm due to friction? - and thus wind on the film. With back open, hold shaft and then turn winder knob/butterfly. This may allow you to pinpoint where the 'slip' is. In the case of a butterfly winder that is just riveted onto the shaft coming loose, I have secured these with a penetrating bearing lock (Loctite) - a couple of drops allowed to penetrate the loose riveted joint. take care not to let the liquid run into the bearing hole in the body - I know the shaft will be a good sloppy fit, but some of these products have great gap filling properties. |
