I posted this on another thread as well......shot my first roll with my brand new R2A, started to rewind, after a couple cranks it just spins...film was loaded properly, did push release on bottom, now I'm staring at it, back is open, I spin the crank and see the whole thing spin, spin the crank as I'm lightly touching the crank pin and the pin will not spin, don't even feel resistance.:bang:

Try testing it, with a roll of film (sacrifice it) with the back open. Load it, wind it on, release the shutter, etc. then push in the bottom rewind button and try to rewind the film, just to see what happens.

I will keep trying, I'm at work right now, at lunch I get a roll of film and try.
I think the crank is broken though....shaft is supposed to spin freely only one way.
