Hi folks,
Its my first post.
After a Christmas spending spree on ebay I ended up with a broken Electro 35, Minister. With the help of the Yashica guy page and cannibalising Minister. I got the pad of death and the rangefinder fixed.
Yey! I thought how cool am I, however when I loaded film it refuses to wind on. The advance leaver goes all the way and the shutter fires and occasionally the spool and sprocket will do half a turn. I'm at a loss as to what to do any one got any ideas.

Fixed it, tiny little string loaded pin at the bottom end of the advance lever shaft was all gummed up, works perfectly now.
