Thank you all!😀

1967 reloaded - and back to duty. This wasn't a camera stored in a vitrine - the patina and dents shows, that it was actually in heavy use! If it could, it would tell stories! Many Thanks to you @Dan Daniel and @monopix - without your help I wouldn't have it done! I have learned a ton about...

I tried it yesterday without a film - and it sounds very much like a newer, serviced clean 124G. There will be a noise, but it is not louder than my Olympus 35RC, when advancing. Only the shutter is surprisingly louder than on my Yashica635 - but the later slowly needs some service.

And of course - only a trace applied with a brush

I kindly disagree. As an example, the official service manual by Nikon for their Z-lenses lists up to four different kind of lubricants/ greases. Because even in AF lenses you want some damping. But it depends a lot on the lens - and their service manual clearly says only when indicated.

Ah, great! So a light one you would use on AF-lenses.

O.k., so those two mentioned gears - the brass one and the one which drives the spool - should be lubricated, and the spring disc. With heavy grease you propably mean medium-viscosity lubrication, something like Japan Hobby Tool 3000, which is recommended for tlr winding? I wonder which...

A better video: Is there anything I need to pay particular attention to when cleaning and lubricating the parts? For the small black levers, I would use a needle tip of low-viscosity lubricating oil, for the surfaces of the brass gears, medium-viscosity lubricating grease, and for the axles...

@Dan Daniel and @monopix Thank you both for your very, very helpful assessment—it all makes sense now: And indeed, the winding stop arm was adjusted to the radius of the rotary disc without the claw running inside. It should have been adjusted to the radius of the claw running inside, as can...

It seems flickr isn't supported here. The used film in the film chamber is already very wornout, that's why the transportation is quite stiff in the first video

Some more to show the situation - first image when it is jammed

@monopix @Dan Daniel First Video showing the problem: The second video recreation of the video by monopix: Here some macro shots of the End Stop Pin: Someone before ( I know from the previous owner that camera was already in repair twice due winding failure) had obviously sanded down or...

@monopix and @Dan Daniel Thank you very much—especially for your patience, which I think I am putting to the test right now. And @Dan Daniel: Of course, that makes sense—I could kick myself for not understanding this. All this time, I thought it had to be something really complex and hidden...

I will check it again tomorrow. When it is jammed like in my third picture it wasn't possible. Btw. my end stop pin also looks a bit dented and I would probably have to sand it smooth – perhaps one of the reasons why the whole thing doesn't work properly.

Thanks again. I tried to recreate your video by removing the exact gear, holding the shutter button to have the lower black arm raised so I can turn the wheel - but surprise - it will not go further than that: and it is springloaded. Unless I missed something, it seems to me there is...
