Hi all--

Has anyone experienced an issue with an SX-70 where the frame counter is unable to be set? It seems like there is a mechanical pawl behind the ribbon cable that is not engaging properly and is preventing the counter from being set.

Im working towards getting the camera to eject the dark slide on its own-- I can get the camera to fire by touching the contacts together myself, but this isnt practical for actually using the camera.

And apologies-- I made a more general post regarding the repair of this particular SX-70, but I finally cornered the major issue and felt like I needed a fresh post to get eyes on it.

Thanks!
