Pentax 6x7 film advance not working

There is something wrong; the counter dial does not advance when I turn the little wheel in the middle. I have another 6x7 and I understand how to test them. The battery is good and the light meter is working.
The film advance lever moves and feels like it's ratcheting but it does not advance the film to the first frame when the back is closed.
I think something mechanically is not right. It's this a problem that might not be too hard to fix?

Pentax 6x7 film advance not working

I've got a 6x7 camera which is not advancing film and won't fire. With the film loading door open I can advance the film with the winding lever. When the door is shut or if I insert the dry fire tool, it will not. Also when the back is not open I cannot move the film counter forward, the adjuster sounds freely without turning the counter.
Any help would be appreciated-

Thanks,
Steve

Meant to say:

If the back IS open I cannot move the film counter forward
