All other functions appear to be correct, although without a film being loaded it is impossible to proceed.
I've tried using an out of date film with the back of the camera open so that I can see what is/isn't happening (depressed the tab manually to simulate back being closed) and the motor can be heard to run.
However the drive roller & sprocket that should turn, pulling in the film is not rotating.
It seems that there may be some sort of internal gear/linkage (between motor & roller/sprocket) that is not engaging.

ANY IDEAS?
