Hi I buyed a nice Belca Beltica II, a 35mm folder, and have tried to take some photo but I noticed that very often the double-exposure lock that should be unlocked by winding the film remains instead undefinitely locked. I think the roller in the takeup spool chamber that is operated by the film advancing can't feel the pressure of the film itself anymore, so it doesn't spin and doesn't release the lock. Sort of how the Kodak Retinas worked, if I recall correctly. Now I wondered if putting a little rubber ring around the roller's ends could help reduce the problem. Has anyone any clue?
