Winder II Problem

<p>I have a new used Winder II for my RZ67 ProII body. I have read the manual. I have put in fresh batteries. The battery light glows fine. But the winder doesn't immediately wind. Instead there are 10-15 seconds of silence, then a high pitched tone for 5 seconds or so, then it winds. Can't figure it out. Any suggestions out there?<br>

Many thanks!</p>

 

<p>Make sure the contacts between the winder and the body are clean (alcohol or an eraser if there is crud on the contacts on either the camera or the winder) and not obstructed, and that the slot where the gear engages is fully open. Besides that, I'd say it sounds like there is a problem with the winder; the camera signals for the winder to wind until the winding process is completed and that is it, perhaps the winder internally has an issue like a loose wire or stripped gears.</p>

<p>Thank you Franklin. I'll check all that out...</p>
