John T Barrett Posted March 1, 2009 Share #1 Posted March 1, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Attached a "mint" Leicavit to a "mint" iiig. Film advances when manually turning right knob (both knobs turn). But when activate Leacavit by concealed trigger, knobs do not turn. How do you ascertain problem with Leicavit base plate in position? JTB Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take the Leicavit off the body and unfold the trigger. While advancing via the trigger, hold the winding shaft with your finger and see if it turns while applying resistance to the shaft with your finger. The shaft should turn, without any slippage. If it does not, problem lies with the Leicavit. As I remember, there are some clutches in the Leicavit, which do not take ageing well.
