I'm trying to revive this for my local Oxfam shop to sell, new batteries have incompletely solved the problem(s)as it now refuses to work even in 'M90' or 'B'. I've had a wary look under the bottom plate, but cannot see how to free the wind-lock, so in all the other settings the 60 & 125 LEDs blink, yet I can't get a film to wind on to pass the 'S' mark. Any clues?

...well, after letting it sit and sulk for a fortnight, I have persuaded it to give up and start working again - don't ask me how!
