I have an old 707. It doesn't wind on the film when inserted. Instead it flips the mirror (but not the shutter)and resets the lens to infinity. The display has a flashing "r".It will rewind a film (button and switch on base). The lens focuses etc when the back is open but not when it is shut. The viewfinder lights work. The local repairer wants about 3 times the value of the camera to fix it. _ Any advice on what this might be?
