I have a Rolleiflex E3 TLR. Something is wrong within the cameras film advance function; everything seems fine after loading the film and advancing it, the camera “senses” the film and it rolls to frame one, however, it is over-advancing the film by about one full frame (it ends up starting on the “two section” on the roll itself). Not good, wasting film! I am not sure where in the camera the problem resides or even where to begin to look to fix the problem. I am sure I did this when I had to go inside the "Winder" panel to retrieve a lost washer that came off of the "flash arm" when it fell off. The washer got stuck and I had to get it out. What I did wrong is a mystery.

Any advice would be appreciated.
