Found an old Minolta Hi-Matic S2 while rooting through my things. Not sure where I got it or how long I've had it, probably came as part of another camera purchase.
It caught my eye, what a cool little camera. Thought I might snap some pics with it.

Here's the problem: it won't advance past frame 1. Load film, good. Wind to first frame, good. Shutter, good. Flash, good. Frame 1 shoots with no problem. Won't wind to frame 2.
Same problem with or without film.
Opening the back resets the counter and then camera will wind without problem to first frame again. Repeat. Sigh.

I've pulled both the top and bottom off and looked around, nothing seemed out of order, but I don't know what to look for.

Anyone have experience with this camera?
