Thanks Richard and Carlos on the problem solving of the advance/counter.
I hope spend some time with the camera this evening and look at the
"lever next to the feed side spool" as noted below. When I last looked,
the reset mechanism was reverting to frame 10, rather than forwarding to
0. The focus gear has felt a little 'crunchy' on occasion as well, so I
believe it's due for service regardless of my findings.

I am just catching up with the list after a couple of
days.
Most likely there is gummy lubricant in the counter
mechanism which is causing it to stick. While excercizing
the counter may unstick it sometimes the real cure is to
have the camera serviced. You can check the counter without
film by using a dummy roll made by winding some masking tape
on one side of an empty spool. Place this in the take up
compartment with the tape under the metering wheel (the
thing with gear teeth). Put a folded business card between
the threading feeler rollers and close the camera. It will
operate just as though it had film in it. The counter is
actuated and reset by a small lever next to the feed side
spool on the crank side. This is operated by the back. Try
working this lever a few times when the camera sticks. If it
resets eventually the problem is likely just dirt or old
lube.
Very likely this is an indication that lube elswhere in
the camera has gotten old and its time for an overhaul.
