Faulty film winder in SFXn camera

**othar** · 08-30-2018, 02:27 AM

As the title says is the winder in one of my SFXn not working (I can hear the motor but the film doesn't advance). I have a second one so no real problem for me, but I wanna try to repair it if possible.
I would apreciate any direction you can provide on which part probably is causing the issue and what I (if anything) can do about it

Regards Patrick

Hi Patrick,

Based on how old the SF series bodies are I would try to disassemble it to see if there is any visual problem you may be able to fix. Other wise you can keep it for parts for your other one. Other wise you can find a another one or newer autofocus film camera for a low cost.

I will try that, I was just curious if someone had any experience with this model.
