Thanks, Jerry. Over the years, I've owned seven,
and all worked without a problem. Dechert
suggests that gentle manipulation keeps the gears
from stripping, and I suspect that he is
correct. The same factory, after all, produced
the Praktisix which had film-advance problems of
the same sort, something fixed on the Kiev 66.
