M6 Winder Problem

[chrisso]

My M6 film advance winder is suddenly very stiff, almost jamming.
Can someone recommend a good repair shop or person, in or near Sydney Australia?

This might be of help, I hope:

THE best place to head is;

Legend Camera Service
Shop 16a/428 George Street, Sydney. 2000
tel: (02) 9232 1225

I'm not sure if you have local knowledge or not but he is located in the Dymock's Book Building, which is in the heart of the city and easy to find (most people you ask should know where it is). If you are struggling to find it use this map service http://www.whereis.com and type in the above address.

Jacky, the owner and tech, is a legend...and hence the name!

Thanks. I think I can find that shop no problem.
Ben, I'm not sure about dismantling my M6, as basic as the instructions seem. My M6 probably deserves a service anyway.
However I might try the slotted washer trick if I feel confident.
