Hi, Phillip. Normally the exposure counter isn't famous for problems in this model. To see it, you'll need to remove the top cover. That can require a little explanation, but first please make sure your film door is closing correctly and pressing inward enough to activate the counter mechanism. If you look at the film door, you'll notice there are "lip" edges on the top and bottom which fit into slots in the camera body, forming a barrier to light. In the upper slot, you'll see a pin or lever (small piece of metal) about an inch and a half in from the hinge end side. This should be pressed in when the film door is closed and out when the door is open. In the out position, it disables/resets the counter wheel. If it does not push in far enough, the counter will not engage. From time to time, I see this occur when somebody re-seals their camera using inferior materials which do not allow the door to properly close. You might look in the slot to see if it looks like it has had new seal material put into it. If so, we'll need to remove that and start over, but let's see if that is the problem first. Jon |
