Check that the 'button' on top of the wind on lever is screwed in securely and that the lever isn't merely slipping under that (almost too obvious to suggest) and then after that its a case for the professionals. But I'd be optimistic of your metering and shutter working after the film advance is sorted... Jem - -----Original Message----- From: Nicholas Ragovis [SMTP:ragovisn@yahoo.com] Hi, I have an old Leica CL that I've been given, along with its two lenses. the camera doesn't work at all. The shutter won't trip, the film advance lever is loose and won't turn the film rod, and the meter won't meter (except the battery checks out as ok). Could it be that the film advance needs to be cocked to operate the shutter and metering, and that there is a problem with the advance so the other two things don't work? Nick
