Thanks for your reply Rick. I may well email you and take you up on your kind offer.

I would like to persevere a little longer with this camera before I relegate it to donor status. I'm not sure I could afford another that would be in any better condition.

Anyway, further to my original post I've noticed that the wind-on resistance seems to vary depending on what shutter speed the camera is set at. For instance at 1/4 sec it's there, but it's not resisting like it is at 1/500 sec. I've also noticed that 1/4 sec is not always 1/4 sec (sometimes it sounds quite a bit faster).

Also, I have my suspicions that the previous owner may have taken the camera apart.

Could it be that something (to do with the wind-on/shutter cocking mech) hasn't been put back quite in the right place?
