Hi there!
I just picked up a Yashica 124 in nice condition that seemed to be working perfectly. However, once I got a take-up spool in place and tried to load a film, the advance mechanism started slipping and failed to wind the film onto the spool.
I've tried a different spool and a roll of film but it makes no difference. If I take the take-up spool out, then the winder looks fine, but as soon as there's some friction from a spool it just slips. The rod with gear for the film counter seems to be fine with tension. Any ideas, or this is simply just bad that couldn't be fixed except a proper CLA?
I uploaded a video on YouTube for better look at it.
Thanks
