I have a nice Canon ii.. not sure which version. But the wind knob does not "ratchet".
It can turn backwards after winding a frame.
These barnak cameras look like a pain to service. Does anyone know of this is a common problem or where it may be in the body?

It's likely to be dried lube on an anti reverse pawl. Should be under the top cover, next to the
gears on the transport.

Looking at the camera, I dont think I want to get into this camera. Lots of knobs to remove and some small spanners needed, which i dont have anything that small.
I dont have any problems with frame spacing. Guess I will just live with it for now.
