May be broken now. I've found that gummed up leads pretty quickly to broken if one keeps using a gummed up body.

I fixed it! The camera has a new light seal and it was covering the hold and spring to reset, I removed just enough of the light seal and now working fine.

Thanks

Aha! Did you do the seals yourself? The instructions are not very clear about cutting out the space for the reset tab!

I didn't do the light seal myself, I did see the tab behind the seal and just removed it to uncover, I am not sure if it was even the correct tab but it works afterward.

Well i got my money back after a struggle, never got my return shipping back, Ebay said they would send a 10 dollar coupon but they never did that, they are good at that from my experience though, got the refund last month...Ebay process is damn long.

I got a K1000 SE now though, works good. Forgot about this thread, got busy :-/.

When you open a Film door it resets the shutter count down to 0 right?
