>I can't remember who, but someone was asking about the Winder MX. I cannot tell a lie, it was me. Except that, as Peter pointed out, it was in fact a Motor Drive MX that I'm after. I used to have one but insanity possessed me and I sold it a few years ago. I've got a Winder MX already, the battery door fell off when the nylon thumbwheel broke. After a fruitless search for a similar thumbwheel, I gave up and made one from scratch using a [metal] bolt with the right sized thread that had a very wide top. I filed it down to the right diameter, then carefully filed in recesses for the fingernail to catch on when screwing/unscrewing the battery door. It worked flawlessly until a slight overtightening resulted in the 'nut' part (attached to the battery door) semi-disintigrating. Aaaargh. There is just enough thread left on the plastic/nylon/whatever 'nut' to keep the battery door closed tight. The 2 fps speed of the winder is sufficient for most instances, but there are occasions when I really could do with the choice of selecting up to 5 fps -admittedly rare. If anyone reading this comes across a Motor Drive MX for sale -anywhere- please email me off-list and secure yourself a nominal reward!
