The advance lever problem is a bit more tricky. The Canonet has a mechanism allowing for advancing the film 2 times without firing the shutter when the frame counter is reset (to the S position). When the frame counter has reached #1, a latch should block the advance lever until the shutter button is depressed. Maybe there is a slightly misbent lever or a misbent spring in the frame counter area.
