Leica M6 frame counter out of sync

Hi, after i began changing rolls without finishing my frame counter began resetting at +- 36 mark. How can i fix it? how can i put resetting to 0 minus 2?

regards,
Avelino

It might reset itself. My M6 did the same thing but the problem worsened and eventually I had to get it fixed -- a little gear or something had become disengaged. My M7 has sometimes done the same thing but has subsequently reset itself. If it bothers you sufficiently to get fixed I think it is a small and inexpensive job. Someone else may be able to tell you how you can do a DIY adjustment, however, but I'm afraid I don't know.

Happened on my M6. Had to be glued. Two more trips back for rangefinder adjustment were a drag, and made me think fixing it was not worth it. But it will gnaw away at you if it's not right. Anther plus for the M2 with its external frame counter. So simple.

Happened to my MP too. I remember it was not cheap to fix. I think I sent mine back to Solms to get it done properly.

In my opinion, the frame counter is one of the most beautiful features of my black chrome M6. Jewel-like. The externam frame counter may be more mechanically simple, but it's not as "cool".

thanks all for the input.
