Bessa L film transport problem

[mal]

My Bessa L (mint, only 3 films through it) has a take up spool that only works intermittently resulting in batches of double exposures interspersed with properly separated frames. When loading the film the spool acts as if the release button is depressed and only when I close the back will the windback lever rotate - sometimes.
Does anyone know if this is something I can fix myself or is an expensive repair due?
Thanks

I am inclined to think that it is the latter of hte 2.

BTW, moving this to the repairs section might help.

It might be cheaper to buy a new L from Stephen Gandy Will set you back $99 (or $69 when bought with a lens).

Do you still have a garantuee on it, given that it's only been through 3rolls?

Otherwise, I think it's more economical to get a replacement. The L frequently pops up second hand for even lower prices than suggested by RML.

I wasn't aware of the repairs section, doh! Unfortunately, I bought it as mint on Ebay (shipped to the UK from US as black ones are rare over here) some time ago and have only just started using it.
