I have just purshased a leica R3 unfortunately the winder is stuck .There is no film in the camera..the film spool inside turns freeley . If i turn the screw at the bottom of the base plate I can get it to snap and acivate the shutter . but other than that it will not do it on its own nor will the leverwinder wind . I have placed batteries in it . the light meter works well .Need help with this one folks . any one with suggestions as to fix this problem is very much appreciated.
