Mine is not doing anything, you can freely wind the lever until the film is fully transferred to the right, the counter never moves

Hi, thank you for your input, the film advances fine with the lever, that’s how I matched the arrow to the 120, the film advances with the door closed using the lever also, that’s how I wasted an entire roll as i kept winding it until it fully rolled to the right, but the shutter counter never moves. Performing a dry shot works, the shutter works if I test it as you suggested.

Did you get this fixed? Or returned the second one also?

Hi, I recently bought a 6x7 that had some issues with the shutter curtains, I sent it to KEH for repair, I told them to check for anything and everything to bring it to fully working conditions, I received the camera 3 days ago, loaded first film roll yesterday, aligned the start arrow, closed the door and moved the lever several times and the counter never moved, the lever never reached any tension to indicate it was ready for the first shot either. I tried to test it, brand new battery, the shutter works if I do a “dry fire”. I wasted an entire roll today trying to troubleshoot it without luck, should I send it back to them for repair? Does anyone know any other way to test if the camera can at least take photos? Like can I put the film and manually move the counter to start shooting?
