Hi Jacob,
My Ricoh Singlex TLS does the same thing, and is, I believe, a common problem with these cameras. Otherwise, they are built like tanks, and pretty much go on for ever. I recall reading somewhere on the web that cleaning the needle pivot with a little solvent can clear up the problem, but can't recall the source.
