Pentax 6x7 MLU counter not advancing
Hi, I recently bought a 6x7 that had some issues with the shutter curtains, I sent it to KEH for repair, I told them to check for anything and everything to bring it to fully working conditions, I received the camera 3 days ago, loaded first film roll yesterday, aligned the start arrow, closed the door and moved the lever several times and the counter never moved, the lever never reached any tension to indicate it was ready for the first shot either. I tried to test it, brand new battery, the shutter works if I do a “dry fire”. I wasted an entire roll today trying to troubleshoot it without luck, should I send it back to them for repair? Does anyone know any other way to test if the camera can at least take photos? Like can I put the film and manually move the counter to start shooting?
