I have had the same problem, intermittently. As I wind the film til 1
pops up and the lever stops, how could it be "not far enough?" You feel
it... I wonder if it is just the personality of the old beast. My
second automat (the wierdo with the replacement lens... does not seem to
do this, but then it has a note inside stating it was rebuilt in 1973...
