<p>Thank you Al for your fast response. The weird thing is that the film I first went with was a roll of Tri X. So, I thought, maybe if I try a different film. So I put in a roll of Arista EDU and it worked flawlessly. Then I put in a second roll of Tri X. First click, then no crank. So it does seem there is an adjustment to be made as you have suggested. I am going to call Harry Fleener before I make up my mind. Thank you again Al!!</p>

<p>I just bought a gorgeous Rolleiflex 3.5 E. It is really like new. The seller stated that it has been overhauled-shutter, film transport-the works, by Harry Fleener. It has his sticker inside. With no film it, it I runs like a new camera. I just put my first roll in it and took the first frame and went to crack it..no go. I have not of course tried to force it. I played around and learned that if I push the shutter button a second time, then the crank works and the film advances. I am not new to Rollie but that doesn't mean I know everything. Is there something I am overlooking? I really want to keep this camera!</p>
