Hi guys, I was given a SuperProgram (with lots of accessories, original receipts and boxes!) from an estate. One of the things it came with was a Winder ME II, and its giving me erratic behaviours.
Behaviour: no matter what mode the dial is set to, it will randomly fire/wind multiple times. Even without touching the release button.
What I've done:
- Fitted fresh batteries for body and winder
- Cleaned the terminals on the winder & body, and made sure none of the pins are sticky on the winder (this was a problem with the databack)
- Tried multiple settings on body & winder. Yes it does this in C or S (on the winder), in Auto or X125 (on body or winder), in M or B on the body
- Holding down the trigger with the winder removed from the body it will wind continuously until the buttons released
The plot thickens; if I break the electrical connection between the body & winder, it will shoot single frames fine. Which makes me think there's a fault internally on the body? I'm hoping this is a semi-common occurance in this model and there's a simple fix
The camera itself has very little use, it still has the JC/QC gold stickers on everything, so I dont think its just a case of worn out parts?
