jb17kx Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 I recently acquired an FE2 and MD-12 combo for quite a low price in the local classifieds. Whilst I've had no problems with the FE2, the MD-12 has been rather problematic. The issues with jamming and poor contacts seem to have gone away, but the rewind slide on the back of the unit is still happily jammed down, necessitating the removal of the drive from the camera to rewind film. I took the cover off the top of the unit to discover that the operation of the slide is not as simple as I'd hoped for. Is there anyone here who might be able to explain the solution to this problem?

steve_levine Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 The rewind pin is a simple spring surrounded affair that sits in short shaft, and I would guess that your's is gummed up. I would try a tiny amount of lighter fluid or even light oil or WD 40 (just a tiny dropper filled). This should free the rewind pin in it's shaft.

jb17kx Posted August 25, 2008 Author Share Posted August 25, 2008 It looks to be more complicated than that, Steve:<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
