I have a nice Zeiss Ikon Contess 35, but the film advance knob will not turn in either direction. It did turn in the wind direction freely before I loaded a first roll of film in it. I think I did not wind the film far enough - not to a hard end, as it seemed to be turning too far. After I took the first shot, the advance would not turn - at all. Anyone have an idea? If I have to take the bottom off, it isn't clear how the advance knob comes off. It has two holes, like for a spanner, but the holes seem big for that. Don't know which way to turn it. CW would be opposite its normal winding direction. Thanks. Larry
