Greetings to one and all: recently bought a ME Super on ebay, shutter operates fine, batteries look good, only problem is that the rewind button won't depress so can't rewind. Any thoughts, anyone? MTIA for help here. Richard.

Try turning the film advance sprocket carefully back and forth while keeping a slight pressure on the button. This might free it.

pull the bottmo cover and you will see the lever that holds the rewind button down when you depress it. Wind and trip the shutter and while winding watch this lever--it should "cam out" at which point the rewind button should pop up--if not, try pulling it out when the lever is the proper position.
