Thanks Chris,
I ended up putting the winder on and taking it off a couple times, looking at the linkage between camera and winder. I noticed a linkage that moves when the shutter is released without the winder on and looked for where that contacted the winder. I think that is where my issue was, the mating linkage on the winder was sticking or something. After working things with my fingers for a short time, everything started working great.
I took my chances with this winder on ebay, since the seller couldn't tell if it worked or not, but my gamble payed off.
Do any of you long time winder users recommend cleaning/adjustment methods for these winders? I checked pentaximaging.com for the manual, there are downloads for Winder LX, Winder ME and Winder ME II, none for MX. Are any of these close enough to learn some basics about mine?

Hey there,
I just picked up a used Winder MX and I was wondering a couple things. The power switch has three positions, C - Off - S. C runs the motor continuously and S allows starting and stopping of the motor, but it seems backwards to me. With the switch in S, I have to hold my finger on what I want to call the shutter release button to keep the film from advancing. Is my winder broken or is this how it's supposed to work? Also, is the shutter release supposed to work in manual when the unit is off?
Thanks for any help you guys can provide, this is new to me.
