Pentax 110 wind-on problem

womble · 03-03-2018, 08:43 AM

I've had a couple of 110 lenses for a while, and recently I picked up a nice looking body in a little hard case. Although I know the images won't be great (the lack of a pressure plate in 110 cartridges not doing the format any favours), I thought it would be fun to try it out. I ordered a pack of three colour films. Unfortunately, when I loaded the film it would not wind on. Looking at it with the film out again, I can see that the wind-on cog doesn't rotate when I wind on.

Is this a known problem, and/or fixable? Or do I have a nice looking ornament?

Thanks, Kris.

The 110 bodies are not that rare, so I'd recommend finding another. It should take two lever winds to move one frame.
