Hi guys,

My old Pentax film camera has some trouble reeling the film back in. As I reel the film back in from the spool, it catches on the spool teeth. On my last roll of film, it actually ripped the film and made it unuseable!

Does anyone have any advice on this/how to manage this?

Welcome to the Pentax Forums!

Is the release button on the bottom not working?

My question exactly. May have become a bit stiff with use and need a little more firmness in pushing it in to get it started or even pushing it in the entire time.

My thoughts exactly, btw welcome to the forum.
