A few days ago, I got a K1000 SE from the forgotten closets of my yearbook room at school. I've shot a couple of rolls with it, and I can't get the film rewind to work correctly.
I may have missed a step in loading it, but when I try to rewind it, the film pops across the geared wheels beside the film spool and they won't move.
I've had to take out the flim cartridge and manually wind the film back into it both times. What should I do?

Okay..nevermind. I figured it out. I forgot to press the release button.
