Hi,

got another camera which has a problem. The FTb QL is in a wonderful condition - except the frame counter and the QL mechanism.

My question is - can i repair the framecounter myself? Or do i have to give it to a pro? And what about the QL mechanism? The Framecounter is stuck since i got it, but the QL-mechanism worked like a charm and from one day to another, after inserting a film, the mechanism won't advance the film even when i try to wind it - but it works when i don't close the cameraback and push the film with my hands into the right direction while i wind it.

Would be great if someone could help me again

Thank you!
Tim

Could the rewind button on the bottom of the camera be stuck in? Or is the shutter tripped?
