Hello all, I recently acquired a Petri Color 35 in working condition. Everything is working as they should. Shutter is operating at all speeds, light meter is working although I do have to adjust the ASA which is no big deal. My only problem that I know of so far is the film advance. When the lever is advanced, the shutter will fire properly but occasionally I notice that the film is not advancing to the next frame resulting in a multiple exposure. This happens sporadically throughout the roll of film. For instance, if there is a 24 exposure roll of film loaded it won't end until about frame 34. I've seen only one other on the forum that mentions this same problem. You can see his post here:

Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
