I have one of those ME Super winding problems where the shutter won't fire and the winder just keeps winding. What I notice is that, every 20 winds or so, a dull clunk occurs immediately on the winder backstroke - only a few degrees back from the max. wind-on position. This occurs for approx. another ten winds and suddenly stops. At this point the shutter will fire - and then it's back to square one again!
Any ideas would be gratefully appreciated!
Thanks,
Chris
