Doug,
be careful that the battery pack doesn't leak, the two tubular contacts
that fit over the two pins in the motor very easily rot out of the
bakelite (which is a substance very much resistant to any kinds of
adhesives when you want to fix it) - it's an absolute bu--er to repair.
The usual problem is that either the pins are corroded or that one of
the wires connecting to the three contacts has dropped off. If you want
to check it without the camera just load the battery pack and short the
contacts with the blade of a screwdriver, it may be that the camera end
of the setup is on the blink.When it's on the camera remember to keep
the rewind lever pushed in towards the shutterspeed dial, pulling it out
on the first, non-resisting, section of the stroke switches the motor
off and lets you transport the film manually.
