1.340 Overtravel movement
You will note while winding the camera that just short of half
way in the winding cycle the 112 release lever pawl engages the
506 floating lever assembly by latching the movement. After the
112 pawl has latched the 509 gear sector must continue up at
least one more tooth (.030) to insure enough overtravel in
movement assembly. If there is not enough overtravel, loosen
three of the four movement mounting screws, leaving the one
closest to the flash switch end of the camera tight. Move
movement assembly toward back of camera and retighten the three
screws. If assembly is moved too much, it will cause a bind in
the winding. After adjustment is made recheck movement
overtravel, pawl overtravel (section 1.222) and pawl engagement
(sections 1.121 and 1.320).

1.350 522 Reset lever
522 reset lever must be free. (Section 2.210)
1.400 Half of picture unexposed
This is again very unusual. One of two things may cause it.
Improperly adjusted flash switch which would catch and hold primary
shutter blade before it is fully open. Readjust flash switch. See
instructions. A 522 reset lever that is not working freely may
cause the same condition. To free 522 reset lever. (Section 2.210)
This may be cause in flash photography from flash being out of
synchronization. (Section 24.000 and 24.100)

2.000 WINDING
2.100 Tears Film
Many times this is a result of improper loading of the camera; that
is, by loading magazine in camera wrong and running film over top of
magazine retainer bracket instead of under it; or by not setting
exposure counter dial when loading film therefore, running to end of
film before camera locks in “1” position which strips the film. An
unusually tight film magazine may cause film to strip.

2.110 Tight Magazine Spool
The magazine spool as well as the film takeup spool should turn
freely in the direction away from the center of the camera. The
noise is made by a ratchet. Also they should both turn in a
direction toward the center of the camera a little tighter, due
to the slippage of a very tight clutch. These tests should be
made by turning the spool with your fingers without moving the
winding mechanism. Use another camera as a standard. If one or
the other turns freely in both directions without making a
ratchet sound, see section 2.130.
Tightness of 020 spool is usually caused by the fishhook
shaped 310 spring, which will be found in cameras below serial
no. 9800. This 310 spring is too tight around the 022 magazine
spool, or by the 510 pawl assembly being tight in the frame. If
magazine spool is tight, remove bottom, back and top according to
instructions. Remove 034 shaft pin at top magazine spool. Also
