Under the covers with your M6 in bed with the lights out !!!
Yup, you NEED to take a second body on trips with you ;-)
Still they do say, "what happens on trips, stays on trips"

OK, it happened again.....l. will I ever learn?????

I went on vacation with my trusty M6TTL....   after lading a few rolls,
suddenly the rewind knob/crank just started to turn, without the film
moving.  It turns freely, but the inside "grabbers" do not turn at all.
Vice versa is also true....

On the trip, I used a pocket knife in the cassette slot ( under the covers
of the bed, with the lights out) to rewind the film each night.. but then I
was forced to use no more than 1 roll a day.

I need to get this resolved....   Is there a "field " fix for the rewind
knob, or do I need to send it to Sherry to get it working again?


Yes, next time I WILL take a second body.....
